1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,280
So, Gabriella, thank you so much
for joining me on the Martin 

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,560
Talk Show. 
Thank you. 

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,440
Martin, it's so nice. 
To see you. 

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,480
Yeah, it's so nice to have you 
here. 

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,480
We've just recently been 
discussing the new movie that 

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,880
you're working on. 
Or TV series. 

7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,680
Series. 
Correct myself there. 

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,520
TV series Devil's Air. 
So at this moment, how how do 

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,440
you feel going into a new 
production like this? 

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,080
Early days. 
I am very excited. 

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,040
I remember when I got the script
first time, I couldn't put it 

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,200
down and I was just looking 
forward to receiving more and 

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,880
more episodes to read. 
I wanted to know what's 

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,920
happening next and I just really
hope that the viewers will feel 

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,800
the same way when watching the 
series. 

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,320
Yeah, I wonder. 
What happens next? 

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,560
I wonder if there's something in
that as we start to get an 

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,440
excitement from something, as we
read a script, as we start on a 

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,720
new project, I wonder if that 
that gives us confidence in in 

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,000
how others are going to start to
perceive it as we put it out 

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,920
into the world. 
Yeah, no, definitely. 

22
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,480
I think it's very important when
actors feel confident about the 

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,200
script, when they believe in it 
then, and all of us absolutely 

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,040
love it, so I think the viewers 
will love it as well. 

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:23,240
So as an actor, sometimes I 
wonder about what else do you 

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,840
do? 
Is there is it is it is 

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,120
performing performing your your 
full time gig? 

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,120
Are you a full time actor? 
Actress. 

29
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,040
It's not. 
I have a property agency. 

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,240
You have a. 
Property agency, OH. 

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,480
Wow. 
OK, tell me a little bit more 

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,680
about the property agency. 
Oh so I I work in Marylebone. 

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,520
I do mainly rentals. 
OK. 

34
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,920
And I've been doing it for 
almost 10 years now. 

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,440
In London And does that help you
support the the dream of being 

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,200
an actress? 
Definitely, definitely. 

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,640
It pays the bills. 
OK. 

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,920
That's my main source of income.
Does your performance side 

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,640
complement what you do within 
your normal job? 

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,920
No, it's, it's completely 
different, completely different 

41
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,479
thing. 
It's a, it's a passion. 

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,639
But I think that's the best 
thing. 

43
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,320
When you can do both things, you
can separate work and your 

44
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,440
passion. 
You can, yeah, I guess so 

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,680
because yeah, sometimes that can
be hard when the passion is the 

46
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,440
job and and you're relying on 
just that for the income. 

47
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,320
Yeah, then there is a danger 
that this passion might not be 

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,680
as something that you love that 
much. 

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Yeah, I guess it can put a lot 
more pressure on. 

50
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,120
You exactly. 
And so do you feel like you've 

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,840
found a good place where you can
where you can balance the 2? 

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,920
Yes, yes, definitely. 
So I feel like I can take 

53
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:52,760
projects that are just 
developing OK and I can do what 

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,920
I believe in and taking more 
risk with that without expecting

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,280
big compensation at the 
beginning. 

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,360
Yes, that's what I was going to 
say. 

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,040
It gives you a new opportunity 
to take that that risk, to take 

58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,920
that chance with something, yes,
to actually allow yourself to be

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,240
fully creative and fully free 
within your pursuit. 

60
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,680
Yeah, it's true. 
But actually what I was studying

61
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,360
is completely different thing. 
I was studying making cosmetics.

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,680
OK, so I hope to go into to that
one day. 

63
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,000
So you're studying cosmetics. 
Where did this? 

64
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,040
Where did it change for you? 
Then where did you decide? 

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000
I'm now going to be a performer.
I'm now going to give this a go.

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,640
I'm now going to make this part 
of my life. 

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,720
I think it's it became became 
like natural for me to to look 

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,400
for something when when my 
business became more stable, 

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,400
when I I was looking for 
something that I will really 

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,840
love. 
I was looking for a new hobby. 

71
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,520
OK, I was playing tennis before 
then I got an injury and they 

72
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,160
couldn't play tennis again. 
So was looking for new thing and

73
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,760
I found acting. 
Actually it was a funny story. 

74
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,920
I met a lady at the airport. 
OK, both our planes were 

75
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,640
delayed, yes. 
And we started chatting and then

76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,120
she was telling me that she does
some acting. 

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,040
And I think it was from that 
moment she convinced me that, 

78
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,200
oh, if I was living in London, I
would be going to all this 

79
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,680
acting schools, all the 
workshops. 

80
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,680
You have so much opportunities 
there, girl. 

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,040
You have to do acting. 
Wow. 

82
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,760
And I was like, yeah, actually, 
well, I'm actually looking for a

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,040
new hobby now, so why not? 
That was around two or three 

84
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,800
years ago. 
So a stranger changed the course

85
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,480
of your life? 
Exactly, yes. 

86
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,360
That's that's pretty amazing. 
The power of strangers isn't. 

87
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,480
It it is, it is. 
You never know in life. 

88
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Like as I, as I told you before,
also with Alexander, we met 

89
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,920
today in person, first time. 
Mm Hmm. 

90
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,120
Because before we were just 
following each other on 

91
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,120
Instagram and looking at each 
other's work, so. 

92
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440
And then and then you've. 
And now we're doing this big. 

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,880
Project. 
Now you're doing a big project 

94
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,800
and now it's life has taken 
another course through. 

95
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Yeah, sometimes I guess we rely 
too much on the the people that 

96
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,000
are constantly in our life to 
help us make changes. 

97
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,440
But actually it can be that 
person that we're just sitting 

98
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,400
next to on a bench and and 
starting a conversation. 

99
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,040
Yeah. 
We have to be open minded 

100
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,240
because, you know, we never 
know. 

101
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,640
Yes. 
Sometimes when you really want 

102
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:24,600
something, you cannot have the 
idea of how it's going to 

103
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,000
happen. 
You have to be open to many 

104
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,080
different possibilities. 
How do you how do you get to 

105
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,200
being open though? 
How do you That's quite a hard 

106
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,240
place to to to find. 
I think you have to some 

107
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:39,920
sometimes. 
I know that a lot of people say,

108
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:42,120
oh, when you want something, you
have to have a plan. 

109
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,400
You have to know how you want to
do this, but I, I believe in 

110
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,280
this manifestation. 
That's when you know the end 

111
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:52,120
goal. 
It's kind of the whole universe.

112
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,320
It's working in your favour and 
trying to bring you closer to 

113
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:03,920
where you dream to be. 
Or sometimes, when your dream is

114
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,400
too small, you may even receive 
more from the universe I. 

115
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,800
Hear a lot about manifestation 
and the belief within this is is

116
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,920
quite widespread these days. 
It's not it, you know, it's not 

117
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,560
something that people take for 
granted. 

118
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,400
It's something that that I think
I find a lot of people 

119
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,960
wholeheartedly believe in. 
I sometimes feel like there 

120
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,360
might be a danger too much of 
sitting back and just wishing 

121
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,240
for things to. 
Happen, that is, that is a 

122
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,240
danger. 
But you have to go out to the 

123
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,560
world and you have to sometimes 
do just one step, take one step,

124
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,480
and then the next step by step, 
next little step. 

125
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Yes, just take one action. 11 
action a day. 

126
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,720
And maybe, maybe even, maybe 
even more if you can. 

127
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,840
Yes, just not to sit at home and
do nothing. 

128
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,960
Not to just sit there on the 
sofa and watch TV and but. 

129
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,040
Sometimes, sometimes you can 
just sit there and be on your 

130
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,920
Instagram and you can meet 
people there as well. 

131
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,600
Just take any any do anything. 
Yeah, I guess which. 

132
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,680
Can be aligned with what you 
want with your goals. 

133
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,520
I, I believe that humans have 
the, the power to make ripples 

134
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,200
within the world and, but, but 
we have the power to do that 

135
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,600
through action. 
So, and that action can be 

136
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,560
anything. 
It can be sending someone Adm. 

137
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,280
It can be going out into the 
world and sitting next to 

138
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,120
someone on a park bench. 
It can be sitting here on a 

139
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,600
podcast. 
You know, there's different 

140
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,000
levels. 
Waiting for a plane at the 

141
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,760
airport and chatting to a 
stranger. 

142
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,320
Yeah, it can be amazing. 
So, so you know that that person

143
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,960
that you met on that bench that 
day, have you got anything that 

144
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,960
you would if you was to meet 
them again? 

145
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,160
Oh, I've. 
Met them again. 

146
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,800
Have you? 
Wow, you've built friendship 

147
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,240
from? 
This. 

148
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,840
Have you? 
Wow. 

149
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,880
Yes, yes, she's, she's a very 
good friend now and she comes to

150
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,280
London sometimes. 
So then. 

151
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,440
I Oh amazing, yes. 
I wonder what that is then the 

152
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,800
bit that built that friendship 
then was it was it simply the 

153
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,280
advice? 
Was it simply the you knew that 

154
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,240
person guided you in a good 
direction? 

155
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,640
Yeah, sometimes I feel when you 
meet people that you, you feel 

156
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,360
the energy that they wish you 
well and want best for you 

157
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:21,320
because that's very precious in 
this world when a lot of people,

158
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,000
there's some jealousy as well to
have. 

159
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,120
There's good people around you 
who are really cheering for you 

160
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,520
and. 
Yeah, we have to. 

161
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,320
When we find those good people, 
we have to hold on to them, 

162
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,520
don't we? 
Absolutely, Absolutely. 

163
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,520
We have to appreciate them. 
Yeah, and that's, I'll be honest

164
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,280
with you, that's what I do here 
on the podcast. 

165
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,720
I meet so many good people that 
I do. 

166
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,800
I hold on to them. 
The, the, it isn't just, we sit 

167
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,960
down here and have a 
conversation and then goodbye. 

168
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,000
It's, it's, you know, there's 
the, the WhatsApp messages, 

169
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,480
there's the invites to get 
involved with other things. 

170
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,200
There is, you know, I, I truly 
believe I, I start to build 

171
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,800
relationships here. 
Through conversation. 

172
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,200
It's all about. 
Building relationships. 

173
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,200
Relationships and and 
connections and, and, and to be 

174
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,880
honest with you, that's that's 
changed my life. 

175
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,800
Relationships and connections, 
yes, and it's been a it's been a

176
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,120
beautiful thing. 
So, and it's so wonderful to 

177
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,480
hear that others have discovered
that as well in different 

178
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,880
spaces. 
Yeah, exactly. 

179
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,240
Because from one person, 
everything can change. 

180
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,560
It's like a domino effect. 
Yes. 

181
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,800
This person introduces you to 
another and then to another. 

182
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,200
I remember when I started acting
I invested in the company, it's 

183
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:39,280
Haymarket and then they took me 
on a set to 1 film and from that

184
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,680
set I met one person who 
introduced me to another 

185
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:44,720
director and we did a feature 
film together. 

186
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,920
That it's going to be out now in
I think few months time. 

187
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,960
It's going to be at Canton 
Festival. 

188
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,600
It's got Gott tag. 
It's with Eric Roberts. 

189
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,920
Yeah, life has opened up from 1 
conversation. 

190
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,880
This is amazing to hear and so I
wonder with you then, where you 

191
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,720
where you hope this will go 
next? 

192
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,120
What? 
What does the future look like 

193
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,520
for you? 
Oh, I would. 

194
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:16,320
I would love for The Devil's Air
to become very successful and I 

195
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:22,800
would love for us to do more and
more episodes and because I know

196
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,960
that the team and Alexander 
especially, they've been working

197
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,880
very hard. 
Yes, yeah, to. 

198
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Prepare everything for us. 
So it's it's just, it's it's 

199
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,840
just very amazing to be an actor
because you come there and 

200
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,360
everything is ready for you. 
You don't really see how much 

201
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,840
work goes into the entire 
process. 

202
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,680
Yeah. 
It sounds, it sounds to me with 

203
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:47,800
with all of this that connection
is really, really important to 

204
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,800
you and other people are 
important to you. 

205
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,280
So yes. 
It is, it's, it's very important

206
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,160
who you're around because 
working with people you like, 

207
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,400
working with people who have the
same passion, it's, it's life 

208
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,720
changing. 
Yeah, and it is life, isn't it? 

209
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,160
Not Yes, it's a massive part to 
all of this. 

210
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,560
This, this, what we're going 
through, this journey that we're

211
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:17,320
all individually on the it's the
when we come together, it's what

212
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,520
makes it special. 
Exactly. 

213
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,320
So we're only having a short 
conversation here today. 

214
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,680
I'd love to follow this 
conversation up with you much 

215
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:27,720
deeper and longer at some point.
You wonder? 

216
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,080
Well, absolutely. 
But one important question that 

217
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,040
I ask all of my guests, and it's
a question for all of us, 

218
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,000
because this world can sometimes
look a little bit dark. 

219
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,640
I wonder, Gabriella, if you know
how we could make this a better 

220
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,720
world. 
Just being kind, small act of 

221
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,760
kindness, even a smile whenever 
you. 

222
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,320
See go a long. 
Way whenever you see there is a 

223
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,800
way you can do something to help
someone. 

224
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,920
Just little things and it's a 
good word. 

225
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,000
Some is just asking how's how's 
your day been? 

226
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Can have a huge impact, that 
ripple effect that we was 

227
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,320
talking about exactly. 
Because that person is going to 

228
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,400
be nicer to another person as 
well later. 

229
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,200
Beautiful. 
Wonderful. 

230
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,080
Well, thank you so much for 
sharing. 

231
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,200

find out more about you as an
