While on stage, the Vanilla Sky actress said, “I feel very lucky to be able to make a living from acting. This has been my passion since I was a little girl.”
'When I receive an award for what I love to do, it feels very confusing and shocking. When I was a little girl, I prayed every night, “Please God, don't lock me in an office.”
“I thought, if I can't let go of everything that's happening here, I know I'd go crazy,” Cruz told the other attendees.
