PENELOPE CRUZ DOES ‘W’

Penélope on facing her fears: “I try not to run away from things because I’m scared of them. When you feel you have to say something to someone, and your heart starts going fast because it could be controversial, I always vote for saying it. With time, you get more at peace with it. I used to get very upset about it, and very angry at myself. But now, when it comes, I just send it away.”Penélope on the celebrity gossip mill: “I think it’s disgusting. It’s dangerous and nasty, and bad for our society in so many ways. And it’s getting worse every day. It affects me directly, but I really believe that this culture of gossip affects our society on a much deeper level, on an ethical level. It’s what kids see and hear every day, and it will affect future generations in ways that we cannot even imagine.”
Penélope on future plans: “Right now I feel ready to do one movie every year or two. One that I really feel 100 percent excited about. And then dedicate the other time to other things. Living, you know, life.”
Penélope on staying abreast on film critic review of her work: “I try not to go on the Internet and read about myself. It’s a guaranteed way to get angry for no reason. You start looking at yourself from the outside, from the wrong place. And everything is out of proportion. The good things, the bad things - everything.”
Penélope on the celebrity entertainment shows in Spain: “In Spain these TV shows are on for maybe 17 hours a day. They are very cheap to make because they just have somebody running after people in the street with a camera, provoking them, insulting them. They’re just waiting for more and more drama, you know? Unless they have a dead body in front of them, it’s not enough. I mean, it is just beyond crazy and completely unacceptable.”
Penélope on adopting children: “It’s something that I’ve thought about a lot. But I don’t know. I feel like I still have a lot of time.”
Penélope on exposing her private life: “I never talk about my private life to journalists. Never. I have a total right to protect it and I never mess with that.”
Penélope on staying at the Sunset Marquis Hotel when she first moved to L.A.: “Many times I would pick up the phone and realize there was no one to call, because I didn’t have any friends. I cannot even look at those rooms now. I have a weird physical reaction. Everything comes back from those years.”

She is gorgeous on the cover but personally I don’t see anything special about her. She was alright in volver and a ‘trophy’ latina in hollwood, i get it, but nothing special.

She looks absolutely beautiful on this cover. She’s one of those people who sometimes I think can look stunning and other times not so much. I’ve never been a huge fan of hers I must say, but I think she comes across as very genuine and honest in this interview. One movie every two years?? What would she do with the rest of her time? She has no children to look after or boyfriend/husband that I know of…would she just travel? It would get a bit boring wouldn’t it?

STUNNING COVER. She has such a unique beauty about her. Loves it.

She looks absolutely gorgeous on the cover. She’s not good in English language movies but she’s pretty good in Spanish films which is why she’s such a huge star. And Stephi, she’s dating Javier Bardem, he just won the best actor Oscar

mEDIOCRE ACTRESS THAT SLEPT HER WAY TO THE MIDDLE
July 17th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
hollywood hypes her because they are pushing the open borders agenda.The same way they ram Ugly Betty down your throats even though nobody is watching.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
^That is hateful. Suddenly any attention a Latin person receives = “OMG ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!!” ?That is offensive as hell. Not to mention she’s fucking European, so your xenophobia is unwarranted. Geography dude! Do you know it?
July 17th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
^Just want to add, when I mentioned “European” I was referring to your comment on “open borders”… seeing as the illegal immigration issue is primarily concerned with all things Mexico.

Penélope Cruz en W magazine de agosto 2008. La realización de las fotos fueron realizadas por Mer Alas y Marcus Piggot.
Un pequeño extracto de la entrevista a la actriz:
Penélope se enfrenta a sus temores: “Trato de no huir de las cosas porque estoy asustada de ellos. Cuando tú sientes que tienes que decir algo a alguien, y tu corazón comienza a ir rápido, ya que podría ser controvertido, yo siempre voto por decir las cosas. Con el tiempo, se obtiene más paz.
