Eva Ugarte (Madrid, 1983) premieres

in mid-March

, her fifth main role in a film in the last year and a half.

Since the success of

, the series about the horrors and mistakes of parenthood with Berto Romero, gave her the support that she had been working on since school, her figure has grown.

"They don't take me down from this wave anymore", she laughs.

She doesn't look, no.

You are the person who works the hardest in Spain.

It has been tremendous, a bit of a labor compensation to other years where things did not come out.

It took me a while to start, it seemed like it wasn't coming out and I was hesitating like: "I've made the wrong profession."

Because, although she was very clear since she was little that she wanted to be an actress, she did not give herself the great opportunity.

Until she came with

and now life is paying me back big time.

I had all that energy saved up to do a bunch of jobs at once.

I think the level of your fame still does not match the level of your success.

Is it so?

Completely.

On the one hand it is pleasant, in the sense that it dedicated me to what I want to dedicate myself to, which is acting, and then I can lead an absolutely intimate life.

It's the ideal situation, although sometimes I think it's unfair that fame hasn't arrived and I know that, if nothing strange happens, it won't be long.

I confess that it scares me a little.

In any case, I am a very chameleon, I have come to act in theater and that some relatives did not recognize me until I spoke, and that is wonderful;

first, because I feel that I can play many different types of characters and, second, it helps me not to be recognized on the street.

There have already been moments in which I have not been able to escape, but what I have felt is respect, never adolescent or nervous harassment.

I have mixed feelings with this fame thing.

Chimpún interview.

Greta Fernández: "It's very nice to be a prestigious actress, but with that I don't eat"

Greta Fernández: "It's very nice to be a prestigious actress, but with that I don't eat"

It has logic.

It is a recognition of your work, but it also means that your life is going to be more uncomfortable.

I have many very famous friends and I have experienced very unpleasant things that I don't know how I would deal with.

Maybe then I'll wear it great and I love it.

This, after all, is a profession of ego and we have to work on it a lot, because it can play tricks on you if you are poorly placed and poorly fed.

Obviously, you have to have a big ego to appear on a giant screen and it is true that in acting we love to be recognized because we are in focus, but I feel like one of those actresses who have chosen this profession precisely because I am very shy about showing myself. How am I.

I'm more afraid of doing this interview than doing

, who eats his children.

Well, that kills them, you don't get to eat them.

Cannibalism in

there is no.

Do you feel that you have already achieved it, that you have reached your goal, or are you still afraid that everything will be screwed up?

The fear is there and I am aware of it, sometimes I am scared that everything I have built in so many years will collapse, I am scared of not getting to what I really want, which is to work abroad.

That has been my dream since I was a child.

This job has always fascinated me because it allows me to travel and get to know other cultures, other places, and sometimes I am afraid of staying at this point of being known, of being well, but not taking that leap.

So I feel that I haven't arrived yet, I'm still on the road, although I've taken good steps. You say that you always knew that you wanted to be an actress, but you studied Advertising and Public Relations.

You didn't trust me at all... Those who didn't trust me were my parents: "Please, do what you want,

, never Eva, because of a zarzuela I did.

It was the best, I linked up with all the handsome ones thanks to the theater.

How could I want to be anything else?

That is good fame.

Of course, not now that at most they invite me to a beer.

The fact is that that's why I did the race, to reassure my parents.

Then I thanked her because studying Advertising took me a bit out of the structure of being just an actress, I understood that sometimes this is broader than acting better or worse.

Obviously, the better you are at what you do, the more value they will give you, but this job entails a whole

, a make-up, you have to sell yourself.

The market sometimes buys identities, not talents.

In fact, there are many talented people serving beers while others with less talent have been able to sell very well.

I am a born actress and always will be, but I really like everything that has to do with creating.

For example, in Berto [Romero] I have observed very closely what it is to be

and I find it very attractive.

I am not a simple soldier who is going to be told what to do, but I study all the ways in which I can contribute.

Did you really never think of quitting? There have been screwed up years, but many times I myself say: "I don't know how I've surfed the wave."

In the first years I had family help that gave me life.

Then, at the worst moment, suddenly an advertising campaign fell on me that paid me x and helped me manage a few months.

And so I have been pulling.

Thank God, I have not had to dedicate myself to anything else except for some very specific moment and it has always been a matter of three weeks or a month.

In addition, I have always lived these jobs since the actress.

For example, once I worked in London in a communication agency for the Underground and I was going to work like someone who is going to perform a play,

to play my role there.

And without even knowing almost English..

it came to you when you were 35 years old.

In this country, if you are a young actress, or catch a

Juvenile at 20 or you're screwed.

It is not easy to enter the wheel. When the series premiered, everyone asked me: "Where have you been? Where have you been?"

Well, trying to work, damn it.

Success comes to me with one of those roles that, in principle, actresses in our thirties do not want, which is that of a mother, because you feel that if they make you a mother they will never offer you to be a daughter.

But look how it went for me... Having too many theories in this colorful jungle doesn't help much. How many times did you get asked if you wanted to be a mother when promoting the series?

In every interview.

I was very surprised by that and that they also asked me all the time how I could have done so well as a mother without being one.

I don't know, I'm an actress, it's about that.

If she had been a junkie or a murderer,

Would they have asked me if I consume or if I kill people?

I'm not a mother and if one day I want to be, well I will be and I don't know if everything will change so much.

I think we are opening our minds and removing our fears that motherhood is a turning point that conditions everything.

You said at the time that Berto had demanded that you both charge the same.

Is it still something exceptional? It was lucky that I had a person who has very well-placed principles like Berto, that's why I wanted to tell you: to thank him and let it be known.

I don't think that, unfortunately, progress is being made on salary parity, but I do believe that the problem is beginning to be understood and that is important.

The industry is in a process of change: more priority is being given to female characters, the range of characters and roles is expanding,

A script is closely monitored if it is too macho, there are more female directors... Before all this was not seen, it was a silenced complaint from the woman and now they have begun to shout, but in salaries I am afraid that it is not yet reflected .

Has that thing you mentioned before happened to you: that they only see you as a mother? No, but it doesn't scare me either.

The day before yesterday I saw for the first time

, and reading interviews with Marisa Tomei, who has always been an actress that I have liked, suddenly I found one whose headline was:

.

And I say: "Man, Marisa, but why do you regret making a worldwide success with Zendaya and Tom Holland? What's wrong with you?"

And her move was that she shouldn't have accepted a role as close to motherhood as Peter Parker's aunt, because she would later condition him with other roles... Marisa Tomei is 58 years old.

Clear!

Marisa Tomei, if you are almost 60 years old, what is happening to you?

Accept it, be happy.

I don't know, or I am very confused or I disagree a lot with this woman.

It doesn't scare me.

I know that I can continue playing the daughter, but they are going to offer me more mother roles.

And nothing happens, although I am amused that they give me excuses.

When they give me a son or daughter, they tell me: "No, but it's because you were a twenty-something mother."

I like to tell stories and it is true that mothers always have a lot to tell.

Aren't you worried about birthdays even though the industry isn't kind to actresses in this regard?

It is a complicated subject.

It is a battle that is very divided.

There are colleagues who transform their faces, they are afraid of getting old and it shows.

Maybe we don't talk about it out loud, but you can see it.

And there is another wave of actresses, the one that I admire, who is betting on ending that slavery of the physical, enough if fat or thin, if it wrinkles or not.

This is an all-you-can-eat buffet and each one can choose what she feeds and what she doesn't feed.

I am not going to touch myself to hide my age and hopefully at some point we will achieve that equality in which, just like men say "how sexy he is when he is older", women will stop saying: "Oh, well, this Not bad for being so old."

It's an old mentality.

Yes indeed,

I'm not going to demonize men with this, because I think we feed it too.

In 10 years it will look wrinkled, but I am not going to criticize whoever chooses something else.

May each one be happy and try to go to bed with as few regrets as possible.

How do you feel being able to say no to offers? I'm saying no to things so as not to repeat myself.

It is a luxury and it is a risk, it gives a lot of vertigo, but there are things that the stomach knows.

I've done more comedy than anything else, but I don't think fame has reached my peak nor have they pigeonholed me yet, so they're coming to me

, dramas and such.

I haven't broken into that yet, but I feel like it's going to break.

And if I want more prestigious jobs, I'll have to go there.

How unfair we are with comedy.

It is a total injustice, a mentality that we have to get rid of.

The actors who stand out in comedy still have to face that: "Oh, well, I've seen you in this drama and you're so good."

Sure, we're very good at drama because comedy has a lot more layers than drama.

It is unfair, for example, in the case of the Goyas.

Comedy is sometimes scary because it scares us that we have the ability to laugh at everything, but that ability heals us.

Comedy is healing and intelligent.
