Becoming one of the most media faces in our country has been for

Nuria Roca

"something natural, very little intended and almost a

coincidence

", she tells us with her eternal smile when we mention the 'Nuria Roca effect'.

"Something that was initially a game becomes your profession and your life," she explains.

And you can't and don't want to stop it.

For her, the game began in 1993, when she entered a contest, 'La sort de cara', on Canal Nou, the Valencian regional television, with no other intention than to raise money for the end-of-year trip.

She then studied

Architecture

and nothing foreshadowed what would come later.

"They were starting up TV and they needed people. They liked me and they called me for a casting, which I didn't even know what it meant. And I haven't stopped working."

She doesn't even look like she will anytime soon;

Among her short-term plans, to return in September with

'La Roca',

with season 17 of

'El Hormiguero',

"with a lot of publicity projects" that will take her to Los Angeles and with what she will go third;

"Many things,

Communicator, writer and actress -now she is starring alongside

Antonia San Juan

in the play

'The great depression'-

Nuria plays all the sticks and assures that in addition to 'eating' the camera she still has the soul of an architect.

Of that 'first love', "she has a lot left, especially her restlessness and admiration for everything aesthetic," she points out.

"I am closely linked to design and I love anything related to

Fine Arts

. Architecture fascinates me; I have already done four renovations at home, I have changed everything...", she confesses with a laugh as she recalls with emotion that this year she had the opportunity to meet

Norman Foster.

For her, combining apparently so different facets is also something

natural

.

"They all have a common link, communication, telling things through different media. I like everything, and it's a chore because I'm not able to choose," he jokes, "I love doing many things and it's lucky that I can do them" .

Her last 'mission' of hers has taken her to

Malaga

, as an ambassador for the 'Atardeceres Larios' concerts, a cultural proposal that celebrates summer and the good life through music and which has just premiered with the performance of

Kiko Poison

.

She will be the starting signal for her vacation, which she will share between

Menorca

, where he will leave the family installed - "This year it's my turn to take charge, because Juan [del Val] is immersed in his new novel" -,

Valencia

and

Cádiz

.

The adrenaline of live

It is clear that it has tables, and not only those of the

theater

.

But what is easier for you, being in front of the camera as an actress or a little step behind as a communicator?

"It depends. I spend four hours live doing

'La Roca'

and I enjoy it like a dwarf, but there's a lot of work behind it... Then there's the live show, improvisation, current affairs... In the theater, the creative process from when you start the text until you pick it up is

complicated

, but then it becomes more monotonous... They are very different things. To get to everything, what I learn in each field is very useful to me. On

stage

, the years I have been doing have been very useful to me

direct

on TV, the poise they give you.

And vice versa, my facet as an actress comes in handy to present anything".

In

Antonia San Juan

, his co-star during these months, he has discovered "a being full of light, generous, from whom you can learn a lot".

The first week of August they go bowling together to

San Sebastian

.

"Working with her is wonderful, because we had a great time. I'm very sponge next to her," she says while acknowledging that she also wants to form a poster and be side by side with any big name of the moment.

"I like to

discover

people. Whenever I can I usually repeat who I work well with, when they let me choose, of course. And with people I don't know I get big surprises. I like the

adrenaline

of not knowing what is going to happen, although later you can be disappointed". That is why, to put himself 'under the orders of', he chooses an acquaintance, the director

Félix Sabroso

. "I love his sense of humor and his irony... I would like to be with him in something fictional".

A sick optimist

Nuria considers herself self-

taught

-"I'm learning from my mistakes, because no one has taught me"- and although Woody Allen has always been very present in her house, she avoids talking about references: "I prefer to enjoy talent, and I do so from the moment I wear to admire a painting, a movie, a series...".

Positive by nature - "for better or for worse, I'm a

sick optimist

. Because life has surprised me so much, I always think that the best is yet to come, because if I thought I had it all done it would be very boring," she jokes. He assures that sometimes it is difficult for him to delve into the

problems

.

"I try to go over them, although that can play against me, because in some you have to stop; with age I am learning. And I enjoy when the people around me are well. In that I am quite

selfless

, or perhaps selfish, because it affects myself; if those who are next to me are comfortable, so am I. I want to be calm".

Given the choice, what do you prefer, 'El Hormiguero' or 'La Roca'? Uf, they are different things;

the first is enjoyment and the second responsibility, it's four hours of direct and you play a lot of clubs.

In 'El Hormiguero' I have the relaxation of not being aware of everything.

Those of us who are used to taking control of things submit to brutal demands, we are very aware of absolutely everything, we suffer a lot... I have discovered that when you take a small step to the side and another drives, you have great benefits.

Do you get along as well with Pablo Motos and the rest of the team as it seems on the screen? Yes, we have a lot of 'feeling', really, we understand each other very well from the beginning, I've been four seasons... I had already worked with him team before, on the radio program 'We are nobody',

and I've always had a lot of ties with them. And as a writer, which of your books has given you the most joy? 'Sexually' was the first and the beginning of everything.

But 'The snails don't know they are snails' was revealing.

The satisfaction was such that many times I am afraid to embark on it again;

It's so good that I don't know if I'll know how to do it again.

Writing more is part of that list of pending things that I have not taken up again, sometimes due to lack of time and others due to lack of desire, because I am enjoying others. You have two books hand in hand with your husband, the writer Juan del Val.

Isn't it a very big responsibility? Writing with him requires putting aside the ego.

And also an important level of management of the other and of temporizing many things.

Because when you write something you think you're doing the best you know how, and when someone comes and edits you... ugh, you have to know how to handle that.

But, in the same way, it enriches you and gives you a lot of things.

I don't know if we'll do it again, because right now we're very used to each one doing what they want. Aren't you tired of being together for everything, in life and at work? We like to do many things together.

Although his most public facet has come to light a few years ago, we have been working together since we met, but facing the public he has always been in the back.

We like it, because if not, we would not repeat it.

And we repeat and repeat.

But within this joint management we also have our own spaces and plots, which are absolutely individual. And what happens when you do not agree,

Who prevails? When that happens there is a lot of dialogue and we leave intensity to one side.

We are very little intense;

We both laughed a lot about it.

We talk and have a similar philosophy of life, we understand each other well and it is easy to reach agreements.

In that sense, it costs us very little to apologize. Have you ever regretted making your private life public? I haven't talked about my private life, I talk about how I understand life, and then one blames it on my private life.

I would never say anything.

Another thing is that you tell anecdotes in a humorous and fun environment.

But telling my intimate life..., I haven't done it and I won't. And you don't regret having talked about your 'open' relationship with him? Do you know what's going on?

That when I answer these things, the headline is changed.

So, since I'm really fed up, I move on to the next one.

You don't know everything he would answer and tell you,

but since she's an old bitch, she already knows everything. How do you deal with media harassment and the haters on social networks? I don't have media harassment, it would be frivolous for me to say so, because it's a serious problem.

As for the 'haters', blocking them.

When someone doesn't like me, I do them a favor, I take away their suffering.

Why do you follow someone you don't like?

Another thing is that someone tells you something they don't like.

It is admissible and enriching.

And you can't handle flattery alone, quite the opposite.

When there is an exchange of opinions it is wonderful, but if it is something banal, get out.

Besides, it doesn't affect me either. What would you have saved from everything you've done? This has a double reading.

If I had saved myself many of the things that I have suffered with, I would not be where I am now.

Everything enriches you, everything nourishes you,

you learn from everything

It's true that sometimes you say: 'What a shitty program I've done' or 'What a ridiculous project'..., but, honestly, I wouldn't take anything away. of the clothes you wear? It makes me a bit overwhelmed to think 'I've already taken this out, what should I wear...' (laughs).

Although this year I am more relaxed, because I am the queen of just in case I am going to go to the concrete.

I'll take four things in the suitcase and that's it.

what should I wear...' (laughs).

The fine line between work and leisure

With these four things, Nuria says that this summer she is going to toast to "continuing to be

enjoyable

", so that life continues to give her things.

"I want the new season to resemble the predecessor, which has been wonderful."

And on your list of

purposes

Hers?

"Take care of myself more, diet, some exercise ... all these things that I never do," she laughs.

Speaking of special sunsets, he remembers the ones he experienced in Tanzania, with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.

"I can't be more of a

movie

," she jokes, although she assures that she has a hard time disconnecting.

"I am fortunate to often combine work, leisure and pleasure, and it is difficult to

distinguish

between them. But I force myself and try to do things that do not require me to think much, for example look at a magazine, read, listen to a bit of music taking the sun or cook".

Enough to go to MasterChef?

"No, because I don't like

contests

, only when I present them. I cook for pleasure and that would be

work

."

Looking forward, Nuria sees herself "

working

as before, choosing the things that can contribute to me".

And enjoying her

children

From her: "When they are little time passes and you don't realize it, now you see it with perspective".

But is there still something she needs to do?

"I would love to have a lot of things left, I hope life

surprises

me , as always."
