Penélope Cruz

"The most important lesson Ive learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did."

"I like roles that people dont recognize me in. … People are always telling me Im sexy, but I dont think those things about myself. I know Ive been coquettish since I was three years old. I like clothes and I like seduction in general, but I am like that with everybody; children, dogs, men and women. I admit I want people to like me — who doesnt ? But not for just the outside."

"The good thing is that I have always had wonderful people around me. Its dangerous when you start earning a lot of money and you become famous when you are too young."

"I think magic is very related to happiness. So it is not there all the time, but there are beautiful moments of magic in everyones life."
