The comedian participates in 'Celebrity Bake Off', the Amazon Prime culinary reality show that has become the good-natured reverse of MasterChef.
Of course, confectionery is not her strong point.
Is 'Celebrity Bake Off' a 'MasterChef' without villains?
[Laughs] I don't think there were many villains in MasterChef either.
But it is a whiter space.
In which 'reality' did you have the best time?
The two are at the same level.
In MasterChef I did not have a bad time.
Well, at first yes, but I immediately understood what it was about.
And I relaxed a lot.
Esperanza Aguirre, a contestant on the show, wins at short distances?She is a woman who is above good and evil.
She can be nice because she doesn't give a shit what you think of her.
We were crazy because she became close friends with Esty Quesada.
We thought she was going to say.
"But what is this?".
And yet, he was after Esty and wanted to be with her.
Are you telling me that Esperanza Aguirre was after Esty Quesada? We freaked out.
I tell you I was there.
It wasn't something that was in the script.
She asked us where we were going to eat and she came with us.
Esperanza doesn't give a shit about everything.
What about you? No, not me.
I wish!
In that sense,
I have to learn from Esperanza Aguirre.
In that sense, huh!
In no other!
Neither Esty nor I care about a tiger nut, even if she seems to.
In MasterChef you confessed to a horrified Tamara Falcó that you bought panties at the market.
But I think we've all done it, right?
At least, those of us who are from the neighborhood.
I really enjoyed explaining it to Tamara.
You had to see the look of horror on her face.
Tamara is very humble and very normal and I forget that there are things that she does not know.
Just as she forgot things that I didn't know.
Like which ones? Like having a lot of service at home.
Sometimes she would talk to you about things and I would stay with my eyes wide open.
It was as if she was speaking to me from someone from a different tribe than mine.
We are from two different worlds
but her generosity invites you to enter her world naturally because it is what has touched her since she was a child.
How much does it cost to break through as a comedian in this country? Of course it costs.
But how much does it cost to break through as a baker?
We have been experiencing a few years of intense crisis in everything you touch.
How much does it cost for a young person to enter the labor market?
How much misery!
I have been experiencing unemployment since I was 16 years old.
Remember when we were looking for a job in the newspaper.
It is a constant struggle and that they do not exploit you, above all.
That they do not exploit you today is almost impossible.
But not because I'm funny and a woman has cost me more than others, you know?
She cost me the same.
But because of my physique and my way of being, I have chosen perhaps rockier paths.
I started in a cabaret.
You started out as a vedette in El Molino doing striptease.
They were wonderful and difficult beginnings.
The strategy I took when entering El Molino gave me a lot of baggage. Did they tell you a lot of nonsense? No.
The people were civilized.
The audience at El Molino was friendly.
What is the most surreal thing that has happened to you on stage? Once I was dancing on my back and a foreigner came.
When I turned around, he was right in front of me.
He had gone on stage and no one had stopped him.
What did you do? Download it myself. What is the character you like to parody the most? I haven't parodied it for many years.
I really liked María Teresa Campos because she was a good source of inspiration.
There comes a time when she is no longer María Teresa but the caricature goes by itself.
In the end, it drifts into another character that has nothing to do with the original.
You confronted José Luis Moreno himself live and claimed that he owed you 25,000 pesetas.
What did you feel when they arrested him? That it was time.
That they had arrived a little late.
When he was talking about my 25,000 pesetas, I was talking about billions.
It was an open secret.
It made me angry to interview a man who was showing us a video with a house with three gyms and three pianos and just stand there watching.
And I thought: "Well, look, no!".
A bit of revolution against the supposed power.
Nor have you had good words towards Pedro Almodóvar.
Do you treat the actors badly? I can't speak for everyone.
Some have already said it.
It is important that the one who directs you knows how to teach you.
With a teacher who is scolding you and giving you donkey ears, it is difficult for you to learn.
Did it scare you? Yes, and it didn't work that way.
But,
Come on, I left for two minutes.
But people ask what it's like to work with Almodóvar and they always reply that they've learned a lot when I know that... Well, I can't speak.
Fear of the powerful makes us assholes.
Have you had to listen to a lot of screaming on set? Some, but not many.
When I worked at El Terrat I never heard a scream.
I left a place where there was a lot of yelling and I lost my job.
And I went as a waitress.
And I'm talking about a great theater company.
I will not give the name.
Conflict scares me.
I can end up crying if I hear a scream.
It's that I get scared.
I am a real turkey and it affects me a lot.
You confessed your support for Rocío Carrasco and assured that you too had been morally mistreated.
We left home with broken wings.
You limp out of your own house.
Do you mean your family?
Yes, of course, to the patriarchy.
We forgive all men for sorrow.
And through sorrow enters the plague.
Look, many times women feel sorry for the abuser himself because he cries later.
Do you remember any lies? Yes, the human has to lie and the animals lie too.
Many times they play dead so they don't get killed.
Lying is part of survival.
I try to lie less and less because lies have a domino effect.
Maybe you say, how I like your paella.
And they come to you one day with a paella tupperware.
You suffered from depression.
How do you get out of the hole? With medication, no doubt, along with therapy.
But if you don't take medication, you won't feel like going to a therapist.
Long live science and live what makes me live happier!
Long live the epidural and long live the bottles when your nipple is destroying! You have stated that there are many people who need it who do not take medication and that this can be dangerous. It can end your life.
You commit suicide because hormonally you are not well.
A person with depression should take medication.
There are people who think that it will create addiction.
But what do I care?
If the one you are now, you don't want to be.
You run away from the person you are.
And if you get addicted, you take the pills like people who have to do dialysis every day.
What is the failure from which you have learned the most? The truth is that I learn more from successes than from failures.
I love that answer because everyone tells me that what you really learn from is failure.
That's a potato roll.
I learn when I'm negative and, suddenly, I have a success that shits you and I say: "You see it silly bean".
Failures bring you down.
What things do you no longer want to fight? Against me.
Yes, I have fought against myself a lot and I have no strength to fight against other things.
Has humor saved your life? Yes.
Humor and dreams.
I have spent many years dreaming to escape from the here and now.
