Spain a second home for Gwyneth Paltrow

The Oscar-winning actress professed her love for Spain in a recent interview, and managed to diss American culture in general and New Yorkers in particular.
"Spain has become a second home," Paltrow said. "Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it's from 500 B.C. It's incredible.
"Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more. They aren't running around as much as in New York.
"They enjoy time with the family. They don't always have their BlackBerries on."
Paltrow lived in Spain briefly as a teen and is fluent in Spanish.
The 36-year-old star, who is married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin, wants her two kids, Apple and Moses, to speak Spanish as well.
She said she would love to act in her second tongue as well.
"I haven't found the script yet," she said, "but the first (movie) would have to be a small role, not very important, because I imagine I would have to get used to acting in Spanish."
