00:00The story of Juana. I think it's a project that arrives in a very unexpected way.

00:04In fact, I was already finishing recording Nadie Como Tú,

00:07which is currently airing in the United States, I think for an IMAX.

00:11We were finishing the project, the last weeks of recording,

00:15and they sent me the casting for Paula's character.

00:18It just so happened that I had a day off, that I didn't have a call,

00:21so I was able to go do the casting, I did the casting,

00:24and then they basically told me what it was going to be,

00:27and it was like 4 or 5 days later that we were setting the dates,

00:30and it was something very unexpected, because I really had plans like holidays,

00:36well, rest, and suddenly the story of Juana arrived,

00:39and besides, I was recording Nadie Como Tú, by Nacho Saba,

00:43with Brandon Peniche, so I just remembered,

00:46my last call, we were recording in Oaxaca, in a church,

00:50and I really wanted Brandon to be in the project too,

00:53because the truth is that we became very good friends,

00:56we have a lot of trust, he's a great person,

00:59a great partner, a great friend of mine,

01:01and I really wanted him to be with the character,

01:04that he stayed with Gabriel's character,

01:06and I remember that they told him the news over the phone,

01:09and he came running, we were very happy celebrating,

01:12and now we even talked about it with Carl Esquivel,

01:15our protagonist in Nadie Como Tú, and I told him,

01:17look, finally, after everything, I stayed with him.

01:19So now we are, for the second time,

01:21the couple in fiction, husband and wife,

01:23and the truth is that it's a great project,

01:26and I think things happen for a reason,

01:28so from one project to another, basically,

01:31we finished, I think two weeks later,

01:33I was already testing images, looks, makeup,

01:37costumes, everything here, here in the story of Juana.

01:41I never saw the original story, the Venezuelan one,

01:44I've seen, I remember seeing bits of the series

01:48where Jaime Camila was, which was on Netflix,

01:51I remember seeing bits, I remember the first meeting

01:55I had with the production people,

01:57they told me, look, one of my directors, Rolando,

02:00told me, open your mind and you will see

02:02that this kind of thing can happen,

02:04and everything that happened to Juana,

02:07and more or less I knew the plot, how the story begins,

02:11obviously how it develops, and the truth is that

02:13I even asked some doctors, and they said,

02:16no, this kind of thing does happen,

02:18and it used to happen a lot,

02:20so I never got to see the original story,

02:23and even when they told us, no,

02:26we had the opportunity to talk to Perla,

02:28who is the writer of the original story,

02:30who was adapting, she said to herself,

02:32now in the story of Juana,

02:34and many times I just don't like to look for references,

02:38oh, I'm going to see how the other person is,

02:41how the other actress was, how she did it,

02:43and also surely the story must have changed,

02:46I want to imagine, but because I don't want

02:48that to influence my performance,

02:51how I am going to interpret the character,

02:53but to work directly with the script,

02:55with what we have, and I think Paula,

02:58the truth is that we have achieved a character,

03:00I hope, very nice, to the liking,

03:02or not much to the liking of the public,

03:04since it is the antagonist of the story,

03:06but without a doubt a very challenging character,

03:09and very interesting.

03:10Paula, Paula,

03:13a very complex character, the truth,

03:15I think one of the biggest complications

03:17of this character is that she is

03:19a very unempathetic character,

03:21she is an unempathetic woman

03:23with the rest of the characters,

03:25many times she moves a lot for her convenience,

03:28and she is quite egocentric,

03:30so she thinks about her well-being,

03:32how she likes things to be,

03:34and things to be done,

03:36and she doesn't like to get out of control,

03:39or that she gets something in her plans,

03:41and that her husband plans other things

03:44that maybe she does not agree with,

03:46such as the baby,

03:48so to create a character so unempathetic,

03:51but at the same time that people

03:53want to see her on screen,

03:55the truth is that I think it is a great challenge,

03:58and Paula goes through many stages,

04:01which is also one of the most interesting things,

04:03and as an actress I love it,

04:05because it is building it,

04:06it is a roller coaster, really,

04:08through many stages,

04:09through stages of obsession,

04:11through stages of anger,

04:12through stages of when she is being,

04:14to a certain extent, a victim,

04:16and manipulated by other characters,

04:18which I am not going to spoil a lot

04:20for people to see,

04:22she is definitely the daughter of her father,

04:24of Rogelio,

04:25who is played by Alexis Ayala,

04:27and we have managed to create

04:29and work very well on stage,

04:31because Alexis is a great actor,

04:33just like Isabela Camil,

04:34who is my mother,

04:35also a great actress,

04:36Fede Espejo,

04:37who is my brother,

04:38we created a family that,

04:39as Alexis says,

04:40looks very bright,

04:41very beautiful on the outside,

04:42but full of darkness inside.

04:44So,

04:45he has been a character

04:47quite, quite complicated,

04:49especially because

04:51they are giving us the scripts

04:52about the march,

04:53and you are discovering

04:54to see what is going to happen to him, right?

04:56I think he is one of the most challenging characters

05:00that I have played,

05:01precisely because of those things,

05:03because of the little empathy

05:04that she has with people,

05:05many times she says things

05:07that even I read the script

05:09and I said,

05:10how am I going to say that?

05:11How ugly,

05:12how am I going to say those parliaments?

05:14But well,

05:15that's the character,

05:16that's how it's written,

05:17and I hope people

05:19want to see that villain

05:21so obsessed with herself

05:23and with her husband too,

05:25on screen.

05:26I think one of the coolest things

05:29about Paula,

05:30Paula is a model,

05:31she is a model,

05:32it is her career,

05:34she cares a lot about her career,

05:35so Paula's looks have been,

05:38wow, really,

05:39we have done everything for her,

05:41we have been constantly changing

05:43how her clothes look,

05:45her hairstyles,

05:46her makeup,

05:48we have experimented,

05:49we have played with the makeup team,

05:51the truth is that I have brought proposals,

05:53hey, here we put stones,

05:54and here we put an eye like this,

05:55and here we put,

05:56I don't know how many things

05:57we haven't done,

05:58the truth with Paula,

05:59I think she is one of the characters

06:00that has had the most changes in her wardrobe

06:01in the whole story,

06:02because sometimes

06:03in one day she changed

06:04three or four months,

06:05without a doubt,

06:07that has been very interesting

06:09and very cool,

06:10that process,

06:11and I think the other thing

06:12about interpreting Paula

06:13is all the environment of Paula,

06:15all the actors

06:16with whom I have worked,

06:17the team,

06:18the truth is that

06:19I had a great time,

06:21I worked with several friends,

06:23for example,

06:24Fabiola Guajardo,

06:25who in the story

06:26we love each other

06:27and then we don't love each other,

06:28we have a love-hate relationship

06:29throughout the whole story,

06:30but I have never worked

06:31so closely with her,

06:32she is a very good friend of mine,

06:33working with Brandon,

06:34sharing with great actors

06:35like Isabela,

06:36like Alexis,

06:37and the truth is that

06:38having a good time on the set,

06:39I think it is one of the things

06:40that also,

06:41without a doubt,

06:42has been the most pleasant

06:43and the most beautiful

06:44of giving life to Paula.

06:45I could tell you

06:46with sincerity

06:47that it is something

06:48very complicated,

06:49not only for me,

06:50but I think

06:51that in any other career,

06:52for man,

06:53for woman,

06:54for whoever,

06:55and I think

06:56I am in the process

06:57of learning

06:58to find that balance,

06:59because the truth is

07:01that when we are recording

07:02a project,

07:03it is basically

07:04consuming us all the time,

07:05it is 24-7,

07:06you are in the forum,

07:07you are on the set,

07:08you are on location,

07:09you come in early,

07:10you have to study

07:11for the next day,

07:12prepare everything

07:13for the call,

07:14and for example,

07:15here in this production

07:16we record from Monday to Saturday,

07:17so you also have to have time

07:18for yourself,

07:19for your family,

07:20for your partner,

07:21even for your pets,

07:22I don't know,

07:23for your friends,

07:24also for yourself,

07:25that is the important thing

07:26to do,

07:27to have time

07:28for yourself,

07:29I think that is the important thing

07:30to do exercise,

07:31to eat well,

07:32and there are a lot of things,

07:33so the truth is

07:34that I think it is like juggling,

07:35suddenly everything

07:36comes out of control

07:37without a doubt,

07:38but I try to

07:39learn,

07:40never,

07:41well,

07:42never say never,

07:43but I try

07:44not to reject

07:45the job opportunities,

07:46because the truth is

07:47that it is something

07:48I have worked a lot for,

07:49and thank God,

07:50and I consider myself

07:51very fortunate

07:52in that sense,

07:53I have received

07:54some projects

07:55and incredible opportunities,

07:56to which it is very difficult

07:57to say no,

07:58and to say,

07:59you know,

08:00now my priority

08:01is this,

08:02another,

08:03because at this moment

08:04in my life,

08:05without a doubt,

08:06my priority,

08:07definitely,

08:08apart from my family,

08:09is my job,

08:10is to build,

08:11to continue building

08:12that career,

08:13so I always try

08:14to say yes,

08:15and try to look,

08:16obviously,

08:17especially for things,

08:18for example,

08:19I don't know,

08:20time with the family,

08:21so try to devote

08:22time to every little thing,

08:23I am in the process

08:24of learning to do it,

08:25without a doubt,

08:26but there it goes,

08:27thank you very much.
