I have a strong personality, and I say what I think.

I'm very honored to play one of the women in the movie Volver, and it was special acting with all those other talented actresses. Carmen Maura is a legend and it was a thrill to make a movie with her.

I won't go to places where you're going to find more attention. I go to the opposite.

Madrid is what I call home, but also the States.

I think most actors . . . We are insecure, in general. I think to be an actor, you need to have an ego, but then, our ego is our worst enemy.

I have a little bit of an addiction to work. So I'm always hiding in the bathroom with my Blackberry to work when I'm on holiday.

Nothing is going to happen to you if you throw salt on the floor, stand under a ladder, or see eight black cats on the street.
