"Pen\u00E9lope Cruz: Her Style Timeline\\nCruz reflects on her background as a dancer, the leading man she can always count on, and her close friendships with some of Hollywood&amp;#39;s biggest stars.\\n__*Allure*:__ \\\"Your husband's mother, actress Pilar Bardem, plays a woman who assists you as you give birth on a bus?\\\"\\n\\n__Cruz:__ \\\"Yes. We were playing in the scene together. We had no idea we were going to be family someday. I don't even think I can call it coincidence. It's too beautiful to be called just coincidence. It's an amazing thing, and I don't know what to call it.\\\"\\n\\\"I was doing a campaign with him for his collection. He's so over the top. Everything is so over the top. Even at 7 in the morning, everything was, like, full on, like the music.... And we just loved fighting with each other. He's very funny. But he was stubborn, so we were just fighting over nothing.\\\"\\n\\\"With my friend Salmita, who I really love. She's one of my best friends. We call each other *huevos* [eggs]. It was because when we were working together, we didn't have children yet, so we used to sleep much more than now. So it was a way to call each other lazy. We [slept] in the same bed so many times, and it was like she was always trying to wake me up and call me *huevos*. But that's in the past. Now we both are mothers, so we don't sleep that much.\\\"\\n\\\"This must have been, like, 4 in the morning when we were shooting, and I love shooting at night. I think it's such a magical time, especially for this scene where I had to sing this beautiful song. This is one of the moments I will always remember from a film\u2014the connection with Pedro [Almod\u00F3var, the director]. Sometimes he sits there next to you and with a look, I know, we know what each other is thinking. That night was magical.\\\"\\n\\\"We are so close to each other. We tell each other everything. We're talking all the time, every day. We're really, really close, the three of us. It's my treasure to have this relationship with [my] brother and sister\u2014it's so beautiful.\\\"\\n\\\"This movie is very important for me, in a personal way. [She won an Oscar for her role and married costar Bardem.] Woody makes me laugh so much. Sometimes he sends me a message or an email, like when I had my son or my daughter or got married. I always save the messages because they are so absurd and funny and unexpected. I never want to forget his messages, and I don't trust the BlackBerry because it always falls in the water, so I always try to save them somewhere else.\\\"\\n\\\"[The costume] was really sexy. I danced 17 years, and that was the only reason why I was able to do this. You cannot learn that in a few months. I enjoyed every second of this movie because of my dance background. I couldn't wait to find a musical. I want to do more.\\\"\\n\\\"There was one scene in the movie where all the characters were together at the beginning, and another one at the end. That gave us a lot of time hanging out together. We spent a lot of time eating pasta and talking about children and family, and then once in a while, I'd sneak in a question about Mastroianni or Fellini. She was so open with me. She really shared with me beautiful stories, especially about what her children mean for her. She was always worried that I was not eating enough. She acted like a mom with me. What a woman. She's as beautiful as she's always been. I miss her, and I want to see her again.\\\"\\n\\\"This is one of my favorite people in the whole world! He's been such a good friend. I can always count on him. He's very intelligent and sensitive. I only have great things to say, because he is untouchable.\\\"\\n\\\"He's a great actor. He made me laugh a lot. You need to be able to laugh. [Because] we were working with such a very, very serious subject in Sarajevo [for *Twice Born*] and trying to learn more about that war.\\\"\\n\\\"We only had a few scenes together. I love the way she laughs. She has this vibrant, great energy. Really full of life.\\\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
