Tips for Actors by Actress Silvia Busacca,
I think that in our career we must never give up, you‘ll meet beautiful and ugly people who will do everything to make you feel and not let you work or discourage you move them away and concentrate on your artistic path and when they say ‘ “ you are nobody” you always answer “ I’m the number 1 “ because you must be always, number 1 never 2 or o but must to be 1 “, and therefore fix in your minds that you will have to sweat, sacrifice, yourself and reach the top of success. A leader of a Nation never stops and you will do the same. “ Never stop because you are the number 1”.
