Namita Nayyar:
If you were born again would you choose to do something else?
Argelia Curiel:
I can’t see myself doing anything isn’t art related, because this outlet allows me the ability to share with the world who I am. So, if I weren’t an actress or writer I would probably be a sculptor or a dancer, but definitely something artistic.
Namita Nayyar:
Do you think that an actor must reinvent himself and why?
Argelia Curiel:
Of course, I believe that all of us as human beings should reinvent ourselves from time to time but even more so as an actor because it is our job to give life to characters that may be totally different ourselves. An actor who does not reinvent himself with every role can’t expand his perspective and therefore what he can offer a character is limited.
Namita Nayyar:
How did your passion for screenwriting and directing begin?
Argelia Curiel:
It was always very clear to me since I was very young that I was all about art, at a very young age I began singing, playing piano and taking folk dance lessons. But above all I loved writing stories. My fascination was so strong that my grandmother took me to literature classes offered by the government, it was a great program because they published a weekly newsletter that was attached to the local newspaper with writings and drawings that the children in the program did. My stories were always getting published and my teacher would say to my grandmother “Hey this girl has talent!” In fact, the first career I considered seriously was Philosophy and Literature, I grew up with mind set on that… until acting came into my life.
