The most interesting films are those which treat important things with humour, according to actress Victoria Abril. She trained originally as a dancer, but found that acting came naturally to her, while dancing was very hard work. She greatly enjoys making films, but found it very hard to work in Hollywood, where the pace of film-making tends to be very slow.

Experiencing humiliation can make a person stronger, according to actress Kim Novak. She was treated rather contemptuously by Harry Cohn of Columbia, who was instrumental in getting her career launched, but she feels that this eventually taught her to resist and made her stronger. She stopped acting when she began to feel stereotyped, and has since then devoted herself to caring for a wide range of animals. She is currently visiting the UK to promote Hitchcock's 'Vertigo.'
