I like roles that people don`t recognize me in.

When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.

My ambition is to be happy.

I am amazed about how everyone wants to know about my love life. They whisper to me, `Tell me the truth? Is it true?` Who cares? Because we have this job, we are to say to everybody what we do, or with whom we sleep? It`s a bit absurd, but that`s why everybody lies so much.

I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being `someone`s girlfriend`, and now I am happy being single.

I love the Italian culture, it`s a beautiful culture. I love the language, the Italian people, their music, their attitudes...I just love it! Sometimes I think I`m an Italian trapped in a Spanish woman`s body.

Johnny Depp is so special that he is like a Martian. In fact, that`s what I call him, Martian.

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

You cannot live your life looking at yourself from someone else`s point of view.

"I love Salma Hayek, we`ve been friends for a really long time. i admire how she has come such a long way and always remained grounded and who she is. She never compromises to follow her vision and she is loyal. Such qualities only mark the great stars".

There`s so much more I want to do. I refuse to get to 50 and wait at home for the phone to ring. In Spain, actresses work until they are old. That`s my plan.

I`m strong and opinionated. Those qualities brought me a lot of problems since I was a little girl in school, saying `I don`t agree` and fighting with the children. It`s part of my curiosity for life.

The most difficult thing in the world is to start a career known only for your looks, and then to try to become a serious actress. No one will take you seriously once you are known as the pretty woman.
