Elena Roger Quotations

I went to the Conservatory, studying piano and singing, up to high school - but I only did four years because I then had to start working, and the jobs were so good that I didn't stop.

I remember one director in Argentina said to me, 'You are not going to have any opportunity to be a leading lady because of your height.' And I didn't care. I don't have a complex.

When I am working, I have two shows on Saturday, and when I wake up, and it's a lovely day, I just cry. I'm joking: I love my job.

I know I want to work for my whole life because I know I can't live without music or dancing. But I don't know if I want to be a big star.

I didn't go to university, and I always had in my mind that I hadn't studied properly.

London has this culture of the theatre that is so big, it was a like a dream - but I never had a thought to be able to play here because my English was not very good. So being given the opportunity to come work here was like a gift.

In Buenos Aires, I have a very close friend who speaks very good English, and she taught me. It was quite difficult because the muscles of your mouth are used to your language, and then when you want to speak another language, they don't go to the place they need to go to make the sound.

I don't know if vocally I am so great.

At the age of 15 I began my singing lessons, and once I became a professional performer, I dove into acting.

Sometimes Buenos Aires is not so safe. You are scared to have someone behind you at night.
