[About working as an actor] If opportunities don't come and you like to act...you have to go out looking for them!...there's no choice, especially in our country.
I have a great respect and admiration for self-taught actors who didn't study at the academy because they were born with the gift of acting. I think it is not my case.
Age is not an obstacle to fulfilling your dreams, generally the only obstacle is yourself.
The family is very important for an artist. Without their support, understanding, love and criticism it is difficult to continue but many times they are the first to suffer and pay for our passion.
