"I think I would have been so much in awe of the movie set, the people and what everybody's job was, that I don't know if I would be able to concentrate on the character"
About this Quote
The intent feels defensive in a smart way: she’s preempting the expectation that performance is effortless once you’re “in the business.” Fuentes is pointing to the gap between wanting to act and being able to act under industrial conditions. That matters coming from a TV personality-turned-actress, someone whose career sits at the intersection of visibility and legitimacy. The subtext is about intimidation and belonging: on a major set, you’re not just playing a role, you’re navigating a culture with its own language and status markers. Knowing “everybody’s job” reads like curiosity, but also like a newcomer’s scan for where they fit.
It also quietly punctures the auteur fantasy that movies are made by inspiration alone. Concentration on character requires insulation; a set offers the opposite. Fuentes reframes distraction as respect: the production is so immense, it demands attention. In a celebrity ecosystem that rewards confidence theater, she’s describing the more human reality - being impressed enough by the work that it temporarily interrupts your own.
