“As a woman, she [Penelope Cruz] obviously has changed as she has become an adult. But, as an actress, I actually might say that she has not changed that much. And she has something great, especially in comedy, and she hasn't been exploited as much as she could be in comedy, but particularly in that mix between comedy and drama.

And sometimes, the deeper and more human that pain is, the better she is at it.” HumansSometimesCharacterPainTermQualitySituationComedySpecialChangedDramaAdultsPainfulDeeperExtremesActressesCruzPainful Situations Author:Pedro Almodovar
