It's flattering to have two, but they haven't changed my life or my career. My work continues as it did before -- an adventure, full of passion and uncertainty. Of course, I'd like to win another one, who wouldn't? Pedro Almodovar; won for Best Foreign Language Film All About My Mother, 1999; Best Original Screenplay, Talk to Her, 2002

I love thinking of life as an adventure, full of passion and uncertainty. Taking risks, partaking of the adventure and the uncertainty, is one measure to me of whether I live a life well-lived. I have gone outside my comfort zone on a number of occasions. The alternative would be to narrow my life more and more. No can do!

How about you? do you look for passion and adventure in your life?
