I don’t know if I felt successful, but I did feel a difference in my career, or in how people perceive me, or how people reacted on the street right after I did the Mexican version of ‘Ugly Betty.’ That show was a complete success, thank God. It broke historical ratings records in Mexico and also the U.S. Jaime Camil Read Quote
