Spanish actress Penelope Cruz has admitted she still feels “insecure” when she’s on a movie set.

The actress has worked with the award-winning director before in films including Volver and All About My Mother.

She said: “Every time I am making a movie, I feel insecure, and I feel scared, and that’s part of the way I work.”

She added: “If one day I would be on the set feeling too secure - that would really scare me.”

Talking about working with the director, she said: “It’s a very delicate and subtle tone, especially with Pedro.” She added: “He’s like an orchestra director - very, very precise.”

She has been working with Almodovar since she met him when she was just 17 years old and is said to be the director’s muse.

She said: “The way he shoots and the ideas that he has, they blow me away.”

She added: “When he comes to the set with the news about how everything is going to be shot every day, it is always so unexpected, always so interesting.”

She added: “It’s almost like the movie becomes an entity of his own and it speaks to him… I think in that way he has no ego, and I really respect that.”
