In these years everyone interpreting her, I often say that she turned my dream into reality as I turned her reality into fiction. We evolved together during the seasons, you know? This was very special, especially with my maturity as an actress and she as a character. I am grateful to “Scheyla” who, through this project, brought more strength to my dream of acting while lending my body and soul to bring life to her. “
