EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
William: The process of auditions, people telling you you’re not good enough, you’re not the right height, you don’t have the right look, is it tough for you? Mariana: it’s hard not to let yourself feel intimidated by those comments sometimes, but that’s when I go into really believing in myself and my craft and leave those comments on the side. I, of course, choose to continue going forward. William: What did you think you were going to do to make a living? Mariana: When I was a little girl a wanted to be a dentist and a marine biologist. Later I wanted to become a psychologist. Thereafter, I chose an artistic life. I believe it’s more powerful and it feeds the soul more than you can ever imagine. William: Is there anything you can’t do? Anything that’s not attainable for you? Mariana: I admire people who can teach, I just really dont have the patience for it. I’m also bad at cooking; it’s just not for me. William: What are you most grateful for? Mariana: That would be having such amazing parents who’ve been giving me everything and supporting me all the way in my career. William: What matters most in your life? Mariana: My family, my career, and my dog. I guess my dog is included in the family section. William: What do you know for sure? Mariana: That I always get what I want. William: What is the dream for your life? Mariana: Success every step of the way. William: What principles do you live by? Mariana: My parents raised my sisters and me very well. They taught of the importance of being truthful and honest. They taught us to always believe in ourselves no matter the circumstances. l
