London, Jan 27 : Actress Penelope Cruz is so fed up of `movie-obsessed' Los Angeles that she's preparing for a move to New York.

The `Vanilla Sky' star says that she feels `very alone' in Hollywood and now wants to divide her time between the Big Apple and her birthplace of Madrid, Spain, where her family resides.

"After a number of years in Los Angeles, I no longer want to live here," the Daily Star quoted her, as saying.

"It will be better if I share my time between New York and Madrid, where my family is," she added.

The actress has named Woody Allen, director of `Vicky Cristina Barcelona', as one of her favourite New Yorkers.

"He says what he thinks, unlike many people that I have met in Los Angeles," Cruz said. (ANI)
