For me, writing a short story is much, much harder than writing a novel.
You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.
With sexual harassment, one always thinks of the man as the harasser, not the woman.
When you have to get into the character each morning, give it your voice, your face, it was torture.
When I was 6, I held on to my mother's skirt, screaming that I wanted to be a dancer. She enrolled me in an academy in Madrid when I turned 8.
When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.
We have to attack reality shows. I don't know how far it's going to go-it's a phenomenon that has invaded TV around the world.
There's nothing more human than two people making love.
The movies were for me a kind of patronage that allowed me to keep studying dance.
The film kept me from working as a secretary. It was a real stroke of luck. A miracle.
The director took my face in his hands and asked me to show him my teeth, as with a horse. This happened on a Wednesday, and by the following Monday I was shooting.

Psychiatrists don't solve anything from one day to the next.
People love coming on television, even if they have to show their miseries.
On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.
My only friends were boys, and I was just one more of them.
My first vocation was dance.
My family was a family of women. We were the type of women it is not easy to live with. I include myself in that.
My current companion, Gerard de Battista, is the father of my two sons.
