And getting older, what's happening is, I play only mothers.
And I love being a woman in somebody else's head, because there are no limits, and that's perfect for any actor. Total, total fantasy.
I grew up in a very open-minded family. My father died when I was very little, so my mother was really, really incredibly busy trying to provide for us.
I had to learn everything phonetically.
I think all families are different. They have more questions than answers. All generations are different from one another.
I think Pedro understands the universe, the same vision I have, about relationships anyhow.
If you take away money, if you take away the houses and things, who are we really? What is love really about? What is it to love each other? Why do we stay together, and why do all the kids split? All these questions I have really deep inside of me.
Part of Berta, believe it or not, is one of my friends, one of the people who disappeared in the Brazilian regime when we had the dictatorship.
So I want to play a mother - but with a girlfriend. I think I have to go in many ways. To play a gay woman, a gay man, whatever.
The only thing I know is that we came from the stars, and that we have the same material as the stars. That's all that I know. Everything else I don't know.
We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.
You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor.
