Penelope Cruz Always Worried She Is Going To Be Fired From Her Films

Penelope Cruz always expects to be “fired” when starring in a film. The 35-year-old actress – who won this year’s Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Maria Elena in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” – admits she lacks confidence in her abilities as an actress.

She told Britain’s Psychologies magazine: “Every time I make a film, I feel like it’s my first time. I always think they could fire me.”

“I’ve ruined my own happiness and created problems with my friends because of this tendency. It takes discipline for me to stop worrying.”

Penelope – who is dating actor Javier Bardem – added she plans to put her career on hold to have children at some point, but feels unable to commit fully to being a mother at the moment.

She explained: “I have a tendency to become a mother to everyone around me. My brother and sister are always complaining that I’m too protective.”

“I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life. I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.”
