"I feel frustrated that I can't remember anything about that evening. All I felt was that I was on the border of passing out from tension. That I remember very well," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Cruz as saying.

Earlier this year, Cruz had won the Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona".

"All I remember is thinking was 'What am I doing here? How did this happen?'" she added.

Despite her glowing movie career, the 35-year-old starlet still has problems with her self-esteem.

"I have always been very self-critical. It's one of those things I don't feel I should try to change. I think you need that to keep growing and improving," said Cruz.
