One thing that I am proud of: I am really capable of laughing at myself.

I never want to lie about my age. If I look around at the actresses I admire, they are all women who have not fought growing older, but embraced it and been proud of it - women like Sophia Loren or Audrey Hepburn.

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.

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

I have had a very singular kind of life since I started working so young, so I am very used to traveling, working, taking time for myself.

For 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona,' for example, Woody Allen is one of the greatest American directors, and we really had a very good working relationship. We understand each other really well. He gave me one of the best opportunities somebody has ever given me in my career.

I don't know why, but women in a hair salon share their deepest secrets.
