00:00I feel that the genre of telenovelas, there was a time when it was said, no, telenovelas are no longer made, it is not true.
00:04They make the telenovelas, but with a little more quality, a little more technology,
00:08but they are still telenovela stories.
00:10There is a time when they do not visualize you, neither small nor large.
00:14So for me it is strange when they call me, well, Dana, are you going to audition for a role of 58?
00:18Well, usually I don't give it.
00:20And when they call me, no, I'm going to do a role of 35,
00:23I mean, like there is a theme, it is a generational dialogue where it does not fit well.
00:28Sometimes you need to go back to the origins to create something extraordinary.
00:39I don't know how to explain it because nobody has the magic formula,
00:42I mean, we never know, but there has to be something that I say, oh yes, connect.
00:47I think today this is connection.
00:49Already, of course, obviously, in the career one always seeks to be able to achieve different goals
00:55in what time goes by.
00:57Maybe I had a dream, I wanted to work with such and such a director,
01:01but when you are already a mother and other factors come into play,
01:06I think that for me it is like something that has magic, that has charm.
01:10A challenge, an acting challenge, a character that says,
01:14yes, leave a nice message, that's what I want to leave.
01:18For me it is that.
01:19For me, before, my challenge was to go with the suitcases from country to country in the world,
01:24doing different things.
01:25Now it's, I don't know, something that has like that bling.
01:28My mother died last night and I'm trying to get to town to bury her.
01:32How long are you going to be in that town?
01:34Sometimes you need to go back to the origins to create something extraordinary.
01:41I have seen several things that are being done, some other series of gastronomy,
01:46and I was a host of a gastronomy show.
01:51So, to make a story with the theme integrated and also live it,
01:56because there was a chef all the time making the dishes and explaining to us
02:01a little bit about the process, and we also ate delicious,
02:05to tell you the truth, because everything they prepared was delicious.
02:09I loved it.
02:11I liked it a lot.
02:12And I had never, never done something like that.
02:15I mean, I didn't repeat myself.
02:18Because sometimes you repeat yourself, you say,
02:20no, again, not the same, but here I didn't repeat myself.
02:24I talked a lot about going back home.
02:26And those of us who are nomads, maybe we understand it very well.
02:29All of us who, for some reason, have had to be migrating.
02:34There was a special connection in the project with me.
02:38And Osvaldo was there, and René Bueno was there.
02:42I wanted to work with them for a long time.
02:44And in my Mexico of my heart.
02:46And I said, no, I'm leaving.
02:49So I was happy.
02:50Happy, happy, happy, happy.
02:52Happy because there is also another thing,
02:54and that is that for me, today, working in a beautiful environment,
03:00with beautiful people, beautiful souls,
03:03well, that's what you also look for.
03:07Because that same harmony within the environment is seen.
03:11You see it on the screen and you feel it.
03:13Working with Osvaldo is a delight.
03:16He is a professional, talented person.
03:20Apart from how handsome he is, and apart from that, he is very familiar, respectful.
03:24He has some values as a person.
03:26Not only as an actor, who is a great actor,
03:28but as a person, he has such beautiful values, an energy.
03:31I mean, for me it was like,
03:33cha-la-la-la-la.
03:35It was spectacular.
03:37And I think you can feel it.
03:38You can feel that we get along very well.
03:42And you can feel it in the film.
03:45Speaking with the truth, as they say out there.
03:47I feel that the genre of telenovelas,
03:49at some point they said, no, telenovelas are no longer made.
03:51It's not true.
03:52They make the telenovelas, but with a little more quality,
03:55a little more technology.
03:56But they are still stories of telenovelas.
03:59Only that they add the plane that falls,
04:01the helicopter, the monumental landscape in another way.
04:06But I feel that they are still stories that recreate.
04:10Because finally, love is always going to be a key element.
04:13And it will always be.
04:15And the telenovela, which is our genre par excellence,
04:17Latin American,
04:19that Mexico has always been a pioneer in it,
04:22well, it is still present in the movies, in the series.
04:26So yes, sir, we continue to watch telenovelas.
04:28What happens is that they no longer call it that.
04:31That's what I think.
04:32But well, I was wrong.
04:33There is everything.
04:34And there is for all tastes,
04:35which is also good for us, right?
04:37To evolve, to do other little things.
04:39I made a decision because I moved,
04:41I have moved to other countries.
04:43My son was very young and I wanted to dedicate some time to him.
04:46But I also think that there is an important generational relief.
04:49And I also feel,
04:52maybe it's my interpretation,
04:54that for age,
04:55there comes a time when you are not visualized,
04:57neither small nor big.
04:59So for me it's weird when they call me,
05:00well, Dana, are you going to audition for a role of 58?
05:03Well, usually I don't give it.
05:05And when they call me,
05:06no, I'm going to do a role of 35.
05:09There is a generational relief
05:11where you are not well placed.
05:13I mean, they don't know how to put you.
05:15And I think I have commented this with several colleagues.
05:19And we all agree.
05:21There is a generational relief
05:22where it is not well understood
05:24what character to put you in.
05:26But there is also,
05:28on our part,
05:29and I say our because I join the choir
05:32with colleagues who talk about the same thing,
05:34where we also don't want to repeat ourselves so much.
05:38Because you also look to do different things.
05:41So we are also a little more observant
05:45in what character we are going to do.
05:47And also,
05:49suddenly I don't do so many violent things anymore.
05:51I know I'm a mom.
05:53And there is a lot of it,
05:54and a lot of sex too,
05:55on the platforms.
05:57And then I'm more,
05:58but the character requires so much.
06:01And at the beginning they tell you,
06:02you need this thing.
06:03So I say,
06:04well, maybe I'm going to let it pass.
06:07And so,
06:08and so we go.
06:09But always grateful
06:10that they count on me to work.
06:14I mean, I'm so grateful to be able to work
06:16in what we love.
06:17It's not easy.
06:19Because it's not easy.
06:21People know the yes,
06:22but they don't know the no.
06:24There are many no's behind everything we do.
06:26There are many characters
06:27that we never had,
06:29that we always wanted to be,
06:30but it didn't happen.
06:32So,
06:33I think it's a constant of the actors,
06:36to be looking for a yes.
06:38To see when this project happens,
06:39to see when this opportunity happens.
06:41And we are also joining,
06:43several that we have been working for a while,
06:45trying to get our own projects.
06:47So,
06:49suddenly you're going to see us
06:50getting our own projects.
06:52And you're going to say,
06:53Dana told me.
06:54Yes.
06:55We are also out there,
06:57making things up,
06:59among a group of people.
