Actress of theater and cinema , always involved in the field of civil rights, ideally addresses parents overturning cultural stereotypes: "Do not tell your daughter to dress in a less provocative way, rather tell him to behave well, as a gentleman, to have a equal relationship, because when there is no consensus there is violence ", he explains.
