It's great working with my sister, because we are very close as a family - my brother, my sister and myself. We have a great relationship.

There are so many designers that I love, and I'm so lucky that I get to work with so many of them and sometimes spend time with them.
When I read a script, I try not to judge the characters. I try to have an open mind and really see what it makes me feel.
For 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona,' for example, Woody Allen is one of the greatest American directors, and we really had a very good working relationship. We understand each other really well. He gave me one of the best opportunities somebody has ever given me in my career.

The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.
I love the Italian culture - it's a beautiful culture. I love the language, the Italian people, their music, their attitudes... I just love it! Sometimes I think I'm an Italian trapped in a Spanish woman's body.
Awards are great, as you get to meet up with friends and colleagues from your industry - a sort of reunion.
