Why am I an actress?

Being an actress is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I never doubted that acting would be my refuge in life. That acting freed me or discovered me, that being others I was also myself. Acting allows me to explore and investigate the complexity of human emotions. As Lee Strasberg said: "Acting is a process of self-discovery." And that is why I feel that by acting I am not only playing a role, but I am also immersing myself in a journey of self-knowledge and reflection. In each character, I find a part of myself, and I am passionate about entering into foreign worlds of infinite realities, which through their stories also resonate in the hearts of others.
