"I pack
my luck on!"
A Laetitia
Casta, interview from 07 July
2002
For nearly ten years Laetitia Casta is one of
the most sought after models in the world. Meanwhile she is well-known also as an
actress. Jessica Schwarz spoke with Laetitia Casta in the on-line interview about
her new film
"Rue of the Plaisirs" and their role in the life as a mother and model.
Jessica Schwarz: I
welcome Laetitia Casta with me in the studio. Laetitia, you belong to the
absolute model elite and besides that make yourself in two and a half
years a name in the film branch. In October last year you brought a
daughter to the world. Are you simply a luck mushroom, or will you give us a
prescription of the success?
Laetitia Casta:
Actually
I do not belong at all to the model elite. I began in a small agency,
and then I worked as Freelancer. Yes, I brought a daughter to the world in the last year. I do not believe that I have more luck than other people, I simply
pack my
luck on.
Jessica Schwarz: What
changed in your life after the birth of the daughter?
Laetitia Casta:
That
is a very personal question. I believe, such an event change the life of every woman.
Jessica Schwarz: In
your new film "Rue of the Plaisirs" it goes around four prostitutes
in a brothel of the 40's. In this film you also sing , for you fun?
Laetitia Casta:
The
film tells history of a prostitute, who falls in love with a man. It concerns in
finding the prince for life. A very charming history.
Jessica Schwarz: Was
your singing in the film a trip into a new world?
Laetitia Casta:
Singing
made fun for me, but I would not like to be put into a category: model, singer or actress,
at last me. We will see what the future brings.
Jessica Schwarz: I
read recently that you want to dedicate yourselves gladly more to artistic
projects. Into which direction do you want to go?
Laetitia Casta: I
would like to work very gladly on creative projects, so far I always worked creatively, and which I would like to continue in any case. In order to receive a
good photo, one must be versed with many other things, for example one must be
conscious over the influence of the light. That is for me
creativity. I think, a photo for example is not only to look simply beautiful,
it is also to obtain emotions. One can often develop an explaining further of
emotions in a kind of play-thing. After a shooting it is
sometimes difficult to somewhat find the way back again into the reality.
Jessica Schwarz: Is
there a director, with whom you would gladly work together with?
Laetitia Casta:
There
is no certain person, whom I absolutely would like to work once together with, it
is however many films, which impressed me very much. For me the
personal history of humans is most important in a film.
Jessica Schwarz: We
are with the "Wetten Dass" (bets that!), broadcast have you bet before?
Laetitia Casta:
Oh,
(laughs) . I constantly do that.
Jessica Schwarz: Laetitia,
I thank you for the discussion. I wish you a beautiful evening here with "
Wetten Dass."
