Spanish interview

Question: Mariah, do you have high hopes for your upcoming projects?
Mariah: It's always good to try new things; my next movie is very different, it's an independent (low budget) film, but it's worthwhile for me to work with this kind of crew - people like (Oscar winner) Mira Sorvina.
Question: What is your role in this new movie?
Mariah: This role is different from the rest (of the characters I've played). It's a more intense character, not one the fans would probably expect or recognize, and the chance to play a different type of character appealed very much to me.
Question: It appears that you are very involved in your work at the moment...
Mariah: Yes, right now I'm very focused, concentrating on my work, and the people who care about me, those who love me, will have to understand and be patient during this time, because they won't be able to see much of me.
Question: What can you tell us about your personal ambitions, your personal goals?
Mariah: Right now it's very difficult to find time for both a personal and a professional life, it's difficult to mix them. However my loved ones understand that right now I'm working on something that I've wanted to do for a very long time - they know it's something that means a lot to me and for that reason they understand.
Question: Do you consider yourself as someone who "loves" our country?
Mariah: I spent quite a bit of time here when I was recording my last album (Giitter). I'd love to come back very soon, but it's practically impossible for me to return before the fall (autumn). I enjoy coming to Spain because I always have a good time here.
Question: When it comes to the choice between fame (glory, awards) and the affection of your fans, which is most important to you?
Mariah: What matters most to me is to be able to express myself creatively; the bond between me and my fans is very special, and when they (the fans) come up to me and tell me that one of my songs has made a difference in their lives, it really means so much to me.
Question: Does this give you strength?
Mariah: It is very important to me; it's essential, and there's nothing else that matters quite as much.

Many thanks to Regina from Mariah Daily.
