Paz Vega

In Europe people don't worry about the body.

America, I like the spirit. Because American people here believe in something. I like that spirit.

My father was a bullfighter.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
