I'm Not Like Puff Daddy, I Hold

Pedro Almodóvar Asked Me To Watch Italian Films Again As Homework To Look At The Energy Of All Those Women From The Italian Neo-realist Films. A Lot Of Them Had Those Characters That Represented Motherhood. For Some Reason, In The '50s In Italy, The Mother Figure Was Very Important - And My Character Needed To Have That Energy.

I Just Try Not To Label Myself In Any Way. I Just Have An Allergy To Labels In General. I Can Tell You That I Am Surrounded By Very Strong Women And That I Really Appreciate That, But I'd Rather Not Label Myself.

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 Love New York, But Being There The Whole Year, It Gets A Little Crazy With The Speed And Rhythm Of Things.

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.
