Actually, it’s a very enjoyable and nice feeling for me to meet and interview my high school classmate after years… How’s ur life like going in the period u’re in ?

A new story’s about to begin, so im very excited and energetic :)

U’re excited and u’ll act in a new project. What kind of dream of success did u’ve in mind when u first entered the this sector ? When u look back now, where do u see urself ?

Actually, there’s no end for dreaming. My dreams grow with me every year :) Acting is a profession without limits. There’s no limit to what I’ll learn and what I’ll add to myself. That’s why I can say that I’m still at the very beginning of my dreams.

What made u stand out from ur competitors in this challenging area and took u to the leading roles ? Beauty or talent ?

Audiences should make the decision about this :)

How do u evaluate incoming projects ? On what foundations should the project u say ‘This is the right job for me’ be based on ?

I approach projects completely with my emotions. I’ve never taken part in any project that didn’t make me feel like it. That’s why I’m very selective about this. The project and the role must impress me…

Which character u acted was the turning point in ur career ?

They all have a special place in my heart. It all gives me experience and career. All of them contributed a lot. There’s nothing I can’t do for the role I believe in. I shaved my hairs for the character I acted in the movie ‘Fairy Tale’. It was a difficult, radical decision for a young actress to make. In the series ‘Love and Blue’ , I moved to Cappadocia because I believed in the character Blue very much :) So, they’re all characters that made me tired but added a lot, they’re all the turning point.

What kind of character would u most like to act ?

Act as different characters as possible I’d like to. I like to keep myself in this importance and be out of the ordinary. Acting characters who’ve experienced deep pain is challenging and enjoyable. I’d also love to act a fighter woman agent character…

Writer Jorge Amado said; ‘’A person’s homeland is her/his childhood.’’ What kind of a child were u, what feeling made u feel about the concept of ‘home’ in ur childhood ?

I’d a very enjoyable childhood… I spent times with my friends in the summery. I also played football matches and played with Barbies like princesses :) I’d a little bit of both sides. I was able to enjoy my childhood. So the childhood of my generation wasn’t a childhood of technology… Any friendly, natural and unspoiled environment takes me back to my childhood.

What inspired u to discover urself or chart ur own path ? Who’s been ur biggest supporter on ur path ?

I can never complete discovering myself. But I knew I’d be an actress for as long as I can remember. I couldn’t think of any other profession. I was born for this and it couldn’t be otherwise. Of course my biggest supporter in this situtation was my mother, and still she is :)

What does fame mean to u ? Are there moments about being famous that u find difficult to accept from time to time ?

Fame, celebrity… These’re just situations brought about by my profession for me. I can’t say that I live according to this situation. I didn’t try to limit my life or pretend to be someone other than who I’m. Due to my family’s profession, I grew up among magazines and celebrities. So I wasn’t stranger to this situation.

Everything we experience in life makes us who we’re and directs our lives. What’s ur most distinctive characteristic that never changes between Burcu, who’s lost her motivation, and Burcu, who’s at the peak of her dreams coming true, and which makes u who u’re under all circumstances ?

I guess my conscience and honesty… No matter what happens, I’ve never been one to change my character. I never gave up on what was right, even if the consequences would affect me badly.

What’s ur distance from the word freedom ? What do u define as ur freedom and don’t let others to talk about ur life ?

I listen to everyone, but I make my own decisions. In my life, I’ve never been a strategic and planned person. In fact, I’ve to be a little :) Im actually someone who behaves with emotions. This’s one of my greatest freedoms.

U’re very fit and beautiful. Do u’ve any special care secrets other than ur genetic codes ?

I’m not someone who does a lot of sports. I’m not someone who does much care for my skin, but I apply skin care once every two months.

What do u think about the modern aesthetic perception and today’s beauty standards ?

It’s everyone’s own choice. They look how they feel good and how they want to look. Of course, I respect this situation, but I don’t think it’s right. This recent aesthetic perception results in people looking similar to each other, not feeling good. I always thought that a natural beauty is more attractive.

Everyone defines love in their own way. I want u to tell me ur definition of love...

Ok :) I think there’s no definition of love. It’s a feeling that can’t be put into molds :) It allows u to experience everything at the highest level. I’m person in love with love. That’s why I do everything with love. I love my dogs with love, I do my job with love, I cook with love. Love is an indispensable feeling.

Love can turn from commitment to addiction after a while. Do u think there’s any strategy to establishing this balance ?

This’s something that changes in the relationship people’ve. So it completely depends on the person her/himself and the person she/he is in a relationship with. As long as there’s mutual love, respect and care for each other, there’ll be no problem. If the relationship involves fighting after a while, love leaves that relationship. Afterwards, it becomes necessary for that relationship to end. Love doesn’t like fakeness and insensitivity. But if these started in the relationship, that love’s already over. Only addiction and habit remain. This’s nothing more than a relationship that’s about to end.

Which city is ur fave in Italy ? Do u’ve a special memory u can share with us ?

We traveled to Venice and Milan with my family. There’re many sweet memories I’d :) But I couldn’t go for a long time. I’ll definitely travel again when this season is over…

How do u spend a comfortable day without a set ? What do u like doing ?

Spending time with my friends, eating, talking and playing games with my fave people at home makes me feel enjoy.

Where and what’re u usually doing when u say ‘This is life’ ?

I’d probably be working :) The place where I breathe in this life is definitely the set. The place where I feel like I belong, where I’m at peace, is the area where I work.

As a successful young woman who can tussle, what message would u give to women who want to make their dreams come true but don’t have the courage ?

They shouldn’t give up on any obstacle they meet. They aren’t obstacles, they’re the situations they meet to help them become stronger… Falling is just a break, they’d never forget that they can always get up stronger. Their dreams’re their future. And no one else can, only they can make these dreams come true :)
