Elena Anaya's Quotes

• [when asked what her skill is] I can hypnotize rabbits.
• Beauty could be our worst enemy. There is something about this generation living now, that we don't accept death. We don't accept growing and getting old, which is one of the most beautiful things. I hope to grow up and see myself accepting myself and accepting time going by and everything falls. But yes, of course beauty is something we get trapped in. We used to grow up in a society where we are shit. If we use this cream, we will never grow old; if we do this, we will never grow old. It's all bullshit. They should be punished because they are not telling us the truth or reality of life. Surgery is a complicated thing to talk about, but I guess it could also be a dangerous thing to play with if you're not very secure about what you're doing.
• [on the pressure of aging and looking beautiful] That would be so scary. I'm 36 years old, and I'm growing up. Little by little. I'm not 20 anymore, and I feel it. I hope to be 70 and sitting at the table with journalists, talking about my films. I don't want to feel the pressure, because it's against nature. Of course I need to take care of myself, but not in an obsessed way. I never go to a gym unless I have to for a role, a contract. I try to take care of myself as a human being, not because I have to be in front of the camera. Maybe I should do it more.
• I am not generous about telling people who I am and what I like to do because it's my life and it only belongs to me and my friends and family.
• I think a love story is universal. It has no language, and has no sex, and has no identity. It's unique. It's personal. It's once in a life.
