opportunities that allow them to survive from it. Like every profession, it requires great dedication, constant study, practice, information and culture. We learn to hear "nos". With each test or audition for a job, you prepare yourself, expose yourself and receive many "nos" until, perhaps, hearing a “yes”. And it will always be so. So many actors are also producers.
5) When you started what were your goals?
I always liked the arts as a means of expression and wanted to live experiences through them. I wanted to share these experiences with people, tell stories, live with the audience. I believe that dramaturgy has enormous power: it gives opportunity to empathy. When the audience can put themselves in the place of a character through involvement with the plot, they can experience facts and ideas that are perhaps different from themselves, and with that, learn to be more tolerant of the differences of the other, for example. Music, for example, penetrates people without necessarily going through the intellect and has the power to move, to provoke. I think we all need this poetry in our lives.

6) What do you still want to achieve?
I'm still in the process of becoming the actress I want to be. With every job and life experience, I learn a lot and this is reflected in my work. I would like to continue to live off my craft until I am very old, navigating between theater, movies and television. I hope more and more to have the power to choose which stories to tell.
7) Do you still have an inspiration?
I have always been surrounded by very special "masters" in my life and I am very grateful to each one of them. My mother is a great inspiration: woman of fiber, warlike and capable, but also sweet, whole and very human. In the profession, I will mention the Brazilian Fernanda Montenegro (an unanimity) for her posture as an artist and as a person, and the Frenchwoman Juliette Binoche, a girl-woman who has no modesty in living the most diverse characters and making all kinds of movies.
8) How do your family members handle your career?
I do not have artists in the family, but my parents have noticed my taste for the Arts since childhood and have always encouraged me, gave me opportunities to develop talents and were constantly present in all my dance, music and theater presentations. I owe a lot to my parents.
