Quotes
Penélope Cruz on Scarlett Johansson "We have a lot of scenes together. Scarlett's very sweet. I've met her a few times just around. I'm so excited for this film. I've been going around saying my lines everywhere."

Scarlett Johansson on Penélope Cruz "Of course Woody was so unbelievably enamoured of her. He'd be like 'Uh-uh-uh P-Penelope, P-Penelope'. You'd think, 'You are such a stuttering fool, man. Just get your stuff together.' But what can you do - he's an appreciator of fine things, and Penelope is quite fine."

"There are 60 people right there, eating, like, salami sandwiches! But it was fun, Penélope is so open and funny and cute. I just want to bite her when I see her!"
