-Marian, I'd like to recreate the day that your image went around the world. You were 15 years old during the 1992 Olympics.
In fact, for several days. I called one day Rosa Verges, the film director, and I said, "I want to be part of the arrival of the Olympic flame in Barcelona." The Olympic torch was to arrive from Greece to the beach of Empuries. He said: "I do not know what to let you do there.” But see, we have a meeting and I tried on a dress.
-And Rosa, how do you know her?
In an audition that was done for a film, but when I was 7 and I do not know why I had this video, and she thought, "That girl was red-haired; much more red-haired and the fire ..." and then I took it home and they assembled all the equipment that would be in the ceremony. Laber Sergi dancers and people who would read, actors... It was finally decided that I would get in a boat, there I expected the dancers. I was a week earlier at the beach. Since I had to talk, I had to learn anything, I was totally relaxed. A last minute he decided that I was going to read something just as the fire had already reached the first cauldron. It was an awesome thing. Very nice and very exciting. I met many people. It was a huge assembly. There were dancers and I loved the dance world.
-You said that at 7 years old, you'd already done casting and you’ve been doing it from very young and with a tendency for performance art. Was it on your own initiative or because you pushed your parents?
A little of everything, because at that age you do not know very well. It was a little dream; a girl’s dream...
-Yes, but I know girls who are 5 or 6 years who say 'I want to be an actress', but no one has said, but they have seen on TV ...
Yes, I loved it: theater, dance, television. Obviously, if my parents had wanted, I had not gone anywhere. But they accompanied me everywhere.
-You were born in a village in the province of Barcelona, Mongat, and your family is there; you're still closely linked to that town. During the early years of your childhood, how was your life in a town like that?
It was a small town, not a big city. But there we had everything: the beach, (the school was near the beach), the mountain, all those pretty things in Barcelona. But I have always loved the city. I would go to auditions and walk around the city. I was bored in the village.
