Penelope Cruz: V Magazine Vixen

Always a fine choice when it comes to front page fabulousness, Penelope Cruz adorns the cover of the latest offering from V magazine.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" beauty is featured in what's been titled as the "Transformation" issue - with an accompanying editorial put together by Mert and Marcus.

Highlights from Penelope's interview with V magazine are as follows:

On gaining fame from her career: "I refuse to call myself anything other than a working actress.”

On motherhood: "The biggest transformation is becoming a mother. It changes you forever."

On choosing the right roles: “Something happens that is really addictive during the investigation. It’s a beautiful thing…A part of you becomes obsessed with that other being. That is the feeling that I look for.”

On Johnny Depp: "Johnny wears everything better than I do. He even wore a dress in the movie he did with Javier, Before Night Falls."
