For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses. |
My only friends were boys, and I was just one more of them. |
Keep your ears open, your eyes open, grab everything you can, react, and learn! |
My first vocation was dance. |
Psychiatrists don't solve anything from one day to the next. |
Acting is the work of two people-it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director. |
The director took my face in his hands and asked me to show him my teeth, as with a horse. This happened on a Wednesday, and by the following Monday I was shooting. |
The director had come to Madrid to court me. |
I really wanted to work and become independent. |
When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family. |
People love coming on television, even if they have to show their miseries. |
I chose the most explosive dress I could find. I put a ton of makeup on and some great round earrings. I looked like Jennifer Jones in Duel in the Sun. |
The film kept me from working as a secretary. It was a real stroke of luck. A miracle. |
I'd heard it was dangerous to walk around Miami. |
Compared to dancing, films seemed to me to be the work of lay bums. There was no physical pain; it was enough to say and imagine what was in the script. It was very easy for me. |
When you have to get into the character each morning, give it your voice, your face, it was torture. |
I like men with some belly who are a little over the hill. |
You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real. |
The actress they'd hired had refused to appear naked in front of the camera. I didn't like to appear naked either, but the first thing I did was take off my clothes and jump into the pool completely naked. |
There's nothing more human than two people making love. |
