Being quiet, which I did, I was just incredibly quiet sitting in the corner. The wonderful thing is there was somebody else sitting in the corner and that was Joanna Hogg. And she and I met on the first day of school. I was 10, she was 11. And she and I have been friends ever since and have become very close collaborators now. She's a great filmmaker.

And she was the first filmmaker I worked with on her student film in 1986. And we made the souvenir films together with my own daughter and then the Eternal Daughter that I was talking about earlier, where I play both the mother and the daughter. So that was one blessing in the heart of that experience. And that was Joanna.

Oh, it was an absolute coup de foudre when I read that script, because it spoke to my great passion for classic Hollywood films. You know, it felt like I was reading a Billy Wilder script or a Joseph Mankiewicz script. I mean, it felt so pure and beautifully wrought. I mean, Tony Gilroy is a master. I mean, he's up there. He's up there with those great screenwriters.

Well, it's one of the glorious things about working with Pedro Almodovar because you know that Alberto Iglesias is going to be there with you. And we didn't have the score before when we were shooting, but we knew we would. And so I did a certain amount of imagining when we were shooting what the music might be. But when I finally saw it, I was so moved.
