Jaime Camil

The script that I fell in love with and adored was 'Jane the Virgin'... but every line in the pilot was essentially, 'Why did you keep my daughter a secret all of these years?' I didn't know any direction my character was going - was it going to be a dramatic character, a comedic character? - I didn't know.

If I had to put in order what I love to do the most, it would be musical theater, movies, and then television.

I love theater. That's what I did in Mexico City. I did a lot of musical theater, and it's where my heart is.

I love to be a working actor, and I love to read scripts as they come in. If I find the script or character that is interesting, I want to transform myself into that character.

I love to read scripts. But I am very happy right now to say that I am a working actor. In this town of Los Angeles, the phrase 'I'm an actor' is overrated. So, I like to say, 'I'm a working actor.'

I love to be challenged, and I'm never sitting comfortable in the mediocrity chair.

I've always been a fan of Five For Fighting's song 'Superman.' It's like an anthem, and I love it.

One of my dreams has always been to be in a Broadway musical.

In Mexic,o the concept of a sitcom doesn't actually exist - even if you do a sitcom, technically speaking, because it airs from Monday to Friday, they put it in the telenovela category. But, of course, I am from Mexico and grew up with the telenovela culture.

I love a good Steve Martin, Martin Short scene where they're being super physical - I don't mean to compare myself - but I relate to their type of comedy because they do crazy stuff but come at it in an honest way.

I do love situational comedy, clowning, and slapstick; I approach that with a lot of respect. The goofier you are, it doesn't mean you're going to be funnier.

I do more films than television, and in Mexico, they are more situational comedies - not the typical telenovela.
