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.

I'm very honored to play one of the women in the movie Volver, and it was special acting with all those other talented actresses. Carmen Maura is a legend and it was a thrill to make a movie with her.
