AES_ENCRYPT / AES_DECRYPT key_str length question

quick ref:
AES_ENCRYPT(str,key_str)
AES_DECRYPT(crypted_str,key_str)
e.g:
AES_ENCRYPT('text','password')
AES_ENCRYPT(crypted_str,'password')
My question is very naive sort!
Even though it's said Key is of 128 bits length(used in block ciphering) why is it "key_str" length can be anything? (excerpt: The input arguments may be any length)
how is the actual key generated from this "key_str"?
