I Spend So Much Time Living By

I'm Not Like Puff Daddy, I Hold My Own Umbrella.

I Can Cook A Few Things. I Always Save The Same Recipes To Impress My Friends, And I Always Do Two Or Three Things, So They Think I Can Cook. But I Don't Know How To Do Anything Else.

[winning An Oscar] Was A Beautiful Thing That Happened. It Is In My House, And Every Time I Look At, I See All The People Who Are A Part Of It, All The People Who Gave Me Opportunities To Work, Gave Me Opportunities To Make A Living At This Thing [acting] That Was A Dream For Me, Growing Up. And I Got To Do It, And Then Again And Again And Again, And Make A Living Out Of Being An Actress.

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 Was Happy That I Finally Could Play A Mature Woman, Because I Started Working When I Was A Teenager And Was Always Playing Characters According To My Age.
