I am only an actress when they say, 'action' and I stop being an actress when they say, 'cut'. I am a normal person outside of acting.
I don't want to play only Latin women. I want to have roles in English.
I'm not the new Penelope Cruz. I'm Paz Vega. There's only one Penelope and she's marvellous.
She was a television star before making in into movies.
The movie Hable Con Ella won an Oscar for "Best Screenplay" where Paz Vega acted next to her "7 Vidas" co-star, Javier C?mara.
Paz Vega made her first Hollywood debut, alongside Adam Sandler, in the movie Spanglish, as a Mexican housekeeper.
Despite being her 13th film, Paz Vega got an "introducing" credit for Spanglish in 2004.
Paz Vega shares her birthday with writer Isaac Asimov, Kate Bosworth, Cuba Gooding Jr., Tia Carrere, and Saint Teresa of Lisieux.
Paz Vega is 5'8" (1.73 m) tall.
Paz Vega moved to Madrid, after two years of acting school, and worked in bars.
Paz Vega has been married to Orson Salazar since 2002.
Paz Vega took her surname, Vega, from her grandmother.
