It's very important to work as a team, you have to surround yourself with people who know a bit of everything. You play around alot with the fullness of the fabric. Yes, this is also very important, everything counts, the music, the sound, choreography, lighting. We're trying for a certain aesthetic when we dance. Part of the success is due to the dedication of a group of young artists, with a genuine sort of flamenco, because you express things according to how you feel them.
Television is a valuable promotional tool.
It helps you a lot, of course, it gives you popularity, but to fill theatres you have to have a good show, and you have to fill theatres, this is a privately funded enterprise, and it's hard to maintain so many people.

Like my mother says, in this world you have to lose you head but not go through life without a head on your shoulders, I value bravery very much, and when you're brave you take risks and there must be risk in art, also in your personal life, if not, you don't get anywhere, you have to try things to see how they work, to find out if it's the right thing for you. It's a funny thing, I was going over some of your interviews and you mention food in several of them.
