“It’s been great because we know each other from I think 1993. I met her (Penelope Cruz) actually here in New York. I was shooting in ’Philadelphia’ at that time, but I was living in New York and she was just coming to America just to see if there was something for her here. She discovered that it was a lot for her here and possibility of working with her in this movie after so many years and doing it in our mother language, in Spanish and in a comedy and a comedy that is talking actually about show business—probably the worst side of show business—has been a lot of fun.“

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Banderas, actor:
“It feels great to see her playing comedy again. You know, the work that she did here in America is more serious. But she was always a fantastic comedy actress. And I know that comedy is not so appreciated, like drama or some other styles, but comedy is one of the most serious things that you can do in our days.“

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Penelope Cruz, actor:
“It was so much fun for me to explore that kind of mind with no filter. You know, she can say whatever she thinks at all times, whatever she feels, because she does not care what anybody thinks about her. And that gives her a lot of freedom. But at the same time, she’s a very lonely person.“

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Penelope Cruz, actor:
“But I think it’s very clever the way they wrote it, because the character are not clichés because they could have done with this woman, okay, she’s great and she’s a bad director. But she’s talented and she’s smart, but she’s too full of herself. And her problem is that she doesn’t listen to anyone, so she will stop learning. So, I don’t know. It was really interesting to have the freedom to play somebody like that.“

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Penelope Cruz, actor:
“We did a little scene with (Pedro) Almodóvar (director) in a movie called ’I’m Too Excited’. Then we did ’Pain and Glory’, but also no scenes together. And it’s incredible because we know each other for 30 years. So it was about time that somebody would put us together and it felt like we’ve done ten movies together before, you know.“
