Highxtar (H) – You have just won two Feroz awards for Best Drama Series and Best Leading Actress for your new series Cardo. How does this make you feel?

Ana Rujas (A)-Very happy and looking forward to continuing.

H – What does success mean to you?

A- Success for me is to be aligned internally, what you are with what you feel and to act accordingly to what you want. If you achieve that, for me it’s success.

H – In Cardo you are the scriptwriter and the main character. Are you thinking of continuing to combine your creative work with your role as an actress?

A – Of course I can imagine it, what I can’t imagine is only doing one of the things.

H – You started acting at a very young age, at what point did you decide to become an actress and why?

A – I almost decided without knowing that I was deciding anything. I think that when things are; hunger, impulse, desire… they end up leading you to what you want almost without knowing it. You can’t do anything else.

H – You have also been part of the fashion system, how is your relationship with fashion right now?

A – I only like to collaborate with brands and people I feel comfortable with.

H – If you had to define your style in three words, what would they be?

A – I don’t have a specific style, I think that’s having a specific style.

H – Acting involves having a high tolerance for rejection. How do you deal with being given a no for an answer?

A – It’s part of the process, to keep going, to see what happens, what you want or just accept, to train in moving forward. Actors are vulnerable and they are magical because of that.

H – Which genre would you say you feel most comfortable with and which would you like to challenge yourself with?

A – I wish I could shoot with Paco Plaza.

H – In Cardo you deal freely with the subject of body diversity and sex. What is the formula to continue advancing in this aspect?

A – That we are not the only ones who do it.

H – You also deal normally with the incorporation of social networks on the screen. How do you deal with them in real life?

A – It’s normal, you don’t have to make a big deal out of it.

H – You are currently working on a play, what is so exciting about theatre that sets it apart from film?

A – There’s not that much difference, you work with people in both areas and that’s what motivates me in the same way. You perform in front of a team or an audience, it puts me in a similar place.

H – Apart from film and theatre, is there another artistic discipline you would like to venture into?

A – I’m writing a book.

H – Recommend a play and a film.

A – La Infamia by Jose Martret for when they return and as a film Lazaro Felize.

H – A medium/long-term job challenge?

A- Cardo II.

H –Plans for 2022.

A – To be able to have a week’s holiday .
