Zitat des Tages von Victoria Abril:
Acting is the work of two people - it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director.
For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.
I like men with some belly who are a little over the hill.
The film kept me from working as a secretary. It was a real stroke of luck. A miracle.
My current companion, Gerard de Battista, is the father of my two sons.
People love coming on television, even if they have to show their miseries.
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.
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 went to dance classes from 9 in the morning until 1, then to school from 3 to 10 at night, always under the threat that if I failed a single course I could forget about dancing.
My only friends were boys, and I was just one more of them.
I'd heard it was dangerous to walk around Miami.
You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.
I didn't go to school a lot.
I'm a small and normal girl, and stories like mine no one likes to tell. Fortunately so, because I wouldn't like to play myself.
On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.
Psychiatrists don't solve anything from one day to the next.
When you have to get into the character each morning, give it your voice, your face, it was torture.
When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.
Keep your ears open, your eyes open, grab everything you can, react, and learn!
My first vocation was dance.
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.
