Madrid Is What I Call Home, But

When I Was On The Set, I Was Not Talking On The Phone Or Reading Anything Else. I Was Just Reading Things, Listening To Music And Watching Things That Had To Do With The State Of The Scene. So It Would Be A Constant, Maintaining For The Whole Day That State. If I Had An Hour Off For Lunch, I Would Put On A Movie Or Something That Would Help Me Stay In That Area. And At The End Of The Day, I Was Like A Zombie.

It's Very Much Like A Torture Sometimes, The Process Of Trying To Get Rid Of An Accent.

Pedro Almodóvar Asked Me To Watch Italian Films Again As Homework To Look At The Energy Of All Those Women From The Italian Neo-realist Films. A Lot Of Them Had Those Characters That Represented Motherhood. For Some Reason, In The '50s In Italy, The Mother Figure Was Very Important - And My Character Needed To Have That Energy.

The Discipline That Ballet Requires Is Obsessive. And Only The Ones Who Dedicate Their Whole Lives Are Able To Make It. Your Toenails Fall Off And You Peel Them Away And Then You're Asked To Dance Again And Keep Smiling. I Wanted To Become A Professional Ballet Dancer.

We Had A Great Connection With Pedro Almodovar From The Beginning. Even Before I Met Him, It Was So Strange. I Felt Like I Already Knew Him. I Loved Him Even Before I Met Him. It Was So Powerful. And When I Looked At Him In The Eyes, This Was The Feeling That I Knew I Was Going To Have With Him. It Gets Bigger And Bigger Every Day. I Adore Him. It's Much More Than Working Together. He's A Really Special Person In My Life.
