Nine star Penelope Cruz has talked of feeling constantly under pressure.

Cruz, 35, was responding to a question about whether she felt pressured by winning an Oscar.

She said: “I’ve always felt under pressure and had a lot of insecurity, so that doesn’t change and I don’t want that to alter.

“I don’t want to get to the set and feel too secure. I’ve worked for so many years feeling a lot of respect and healthy fear of the work and I don’t feel that can change now.”

Cruz, who won an Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, said she keeps her statuette in her house.

“But it changes rooms all the time. I’m looking at it in different places to make the final decision. I even took it to the beach one day! It’s like being five when you finally get a toy you’ve been asking for.”
