Amina Khalil: Acting is like a "muscle"... and I went to a psychiatrist
Actress Amina Khalil confirmed that she had gone to a psychiatrist before, and that this was very healthy.
In her interview with Al-Roya, she indicated that acting is like a muscle, a person must work on it, train it and develop it in artistic workshops and others, because if he does not do that, he will not be a good actor.
She explained that social media affects her, and sometimes gets angry and angry, but not 100%, because she is convinced that not all people can be satisfied.
And the text of the interview.
* Do female artists get the roles of the championships on an equal basis with the young stars?
There is a relative improvement, but women still did not get their rights in Egyptian cinema like in the past. In the sixties and seventies, there were many films made for women, such as the opportunities that were given to the artist, Soad Hosni, "has a large number of films", then over time there was a decline for men to get On more roles, films are written for him, and he embodies starring roles. The written works for women are still few, and not enough.
* Are women in general enjoying their rights now, or are their rights still lacking in society?
I see that she gets things, and does not get other things, there should be no conflict between the woman and the man, there is no need, they both come out of this struggle as a loser, they both have their own capabilities, they should not dispute the capabilities of the other, there are of course things and things Unfair, such as discrimination in employment in some areas, where for example men are paid more money than women.
* Did your studies in the United States of America and Moscow add to your work in art, and did you apply them in your work?
It added to me very, the idea that I traveled abroad on my own, and I was independent from my childhood, he grew up very much before my age, and taught me so many things, and the experience of living alone abroad, with different people in different cultures, increased my human experience more than it benefited me in acting, and always I say acting is like a muscle that a person has to work on and exercise, because if he doesn't, he won't be a good actor. Acting needs to be developed all the time by having workshops, it all helps to be a much better performance.
Who helped you become independent from your childhood, you or your family?
My family was the one who stood beside me, helped me in this and let me travel in the early twenties, because they saw that this is one of the most important things that create “six in 100 men.” They did not want me to be a conservative person, on the contrary, they wanted me to be a more open, capable person. To deal with all people.
Do you see yourself as a woman with 100 men?
I see that I am "six for 100 six", the name is a little unpopular, but I want to be that, but there are other things related to women that I stick to, and I don't want to be with 100 men in them, I don't want for example to change a car wheel or go to the mechanic, This is not my business as a woman, but I am “six with 100 men” in Jadana, a good friend, ambitious, then this name can be applied, but away from the physical things that men do.
Who are the female artists or public figures that you want to embody their role?
I do not know, there is no specific person, all the artists have very interesting life stories, it is certain that if you choose any artist, it will be possible to make a drama from her story, but the truth is I do not know, then it is not necessary to embody the role of an artist from the good time, so I wish, for example, to embody a character Cleopatra.
What does the concept of marriage represent to you?
I have not been married, and marriage for me is a partnership, two who share the good and the bad, the hard and the easy, happiness and tears, everything.
* What does acting mean to you?
For me the dream that I dreamed of a little Amina, for me it is a humanitarian work, because in order to embody a certain character I must have a complete feeling for it, in order for there to be sincerity in acting, as it is one of the best things I have chosen in my life, and I am very happy, and I love after Work finished watching it.
Are there any new jobs you are preparing for?
No, there is not currently, now I am on vacation, and I will decide next month in September, what I will do, there are many papers I read, there is more than one job, but I have not taken any decision.
* What roles are closest to your heart?
“Nazli” in the “Grand Hotel” series, and “Zizi” in the series “Khali Balak Min Zizi,” and in the cinema, there is “The Treasure” and “Men’s Stand.” I loved most of my work.
Who is the star you would like to work with in the future?
I worked with Hend Sabry, Ahmed Helmy, Karim Abdel Aziz, and Menna Shalaby.
Does social media affect you?
We are all human, and it certainly affects me, and sometimes I get upset and angry, but we must not be affected by 100%, because if we find someone who does not love us, we will find in return for another who loves us, defends us and stands behind us, it is not possible to satisfy all people, the most important thing is to satisfy ourselves, No one will unite us, and no one will love or hate us.
*Have you ever been to a psychiatrist?
Yes, and I think that is very healthy.
* How do you see the artistic community, and do you have friends in it?
The artistic community is like any other medium, it has good people, and it has the opposite, and there are some of them who want me good, and others want evil, like any field, and I have friends in the middle, they are not the closest people to me, but they are friends, so my closest friends are from outside The middle, and they are my friends for many years.
*Who is closest to you in the middle?
Ahmed Daoud, Mohamed Mamdouh, Amr Youssef, Kinda, Engy El-Mokadam, Dina El-Sherbiny.
Is it possible that the time will come and you will take a long vacation from art?
Very likely, God willing, when I have children, if God blesses me.
