Translation of the interview of Elcin for the magazine "L'Officiel Türkiye"
Part 1😍

"The time of happiness tells about the happiness of unfortunate people who behave as if they are happy.I believe that the audience will leave the film hall with a smile on their face"

- The water flows to find its way.
- Definitely. If I had not been offered such a restrictive role, maybe I would not have gone into this profession. Everything found its way thanks to this role ...

- After you studied the conditions of the serial sector, were there any moments when you thought "Would it have been better if I had not started this work at all?"
- It never happened. Quite the opposite, she kept saying to herself "It's good that I went this way." Probably, I could not find myself another profession that would make me feel so good. Playing, being in front of the camera is very good at acting on me.

- After "Priceless time" 7 years have passed. What has changed in your acting since then? What in you left the projects in which they participated, the roles that they played? After all, acting is a profession that develops you through experience.
- When I first started, I had no thoughts about the location of the camera, its functions and what I should do in front of it. And now I have reached the point where I can sit down and talk with the director about technical processes. Such information is studied with time. When you find a common language with different directors on different projects, you know all the technical issues. This gives an advantage over the camera. In our profession there is such a thing as "reading the look." One of the main things of acting, even this you learn only with time. Nothing happens immediately.

"So you believe in luck ..."
- Nobody thought that it would become known when the project was starting, I just wanted to do my job as a technician ... I believe that with this desire life will bring us to good places.

- There is a feeling that you started your career with the "Love for rent" project, despite the fact that before it received many roles. What do you think was the reason that so much talked about the role of Defneh?
- It seems that this image was very realistic. What I played before was completely different. For example, the epic series "Kurt Seyit and Alexander." The cold and distant language stood out and was very different from what we used to. Other projects were at the stage that we will not be able to get close to their history. But Defne from "Love for Rent" was one of us. Straight from life ...

- I think that Defne embodies something from everyone around him. Every movement or reaction is necessarily in our closest friend, in a sister or with a neighbor. A man feels a lack of affinity with her.
- Definitely. Especially this image made realistic that I felt very indifferent on the set. At the beginning of my career, I thought about how I look in front of the camera, was embarrassed, I thought this was the right thing, I focused only on work, and that's why, it seems to me, the image of Defné has become so sincere.

Currently, there are many factors that make the series successful. Sometimes it does not work well despite the fact that there are two wonderful actors, impressive work, and sometimes the project becomes very popular when you do not expect it, for example, like "Love Rented". I saw those who every Friday sat in front of the screens in an exciting waiting for a series of "Love for Rent," although they also said that in no case will the Turkish TV show. What do you think makes this series so special or different?
"If we were able to influence, as you said, it's good ... I believe that the success of any work begins with the synergy of the team. If the team has peace, happiness and fun, this energy will pass to the viewer. It turns out even more warm and realistic story. The "Love for rent" team also had great energy. It will look standard, but from the very first day we became really one family. Whoever asks in the team, they will say the same thing. I do not know how many people in this sector had the same chance. Necessarily, there are those who superficially say "we are like a family," but those who sincerely think so, so few. I consider myself one of those. Moreover, if I think that I took a role in this project after I refused twice ...

- Why did you refuse (the first two times)?
- When I took a break and wanted to rest a bit, I was offered to star in the series "Love for Rent." It was a summer series and before I did not act in romantic comedies. But fortunately, our paths with Ummu Burhan crossed. After I refused the offer for the second time, she met with me and did so that I looked at the role of Daphne. Thanks to her, I agreed to this role. And it's good that she agreed. "Love for rent" - this is a series that shows the audience a pure love, which many of us wanted to see.

part 2 💓 - "love for rent" became the TV series, which showed a clean love at which many of US соскучились. mainly in the serials which began as "romantic-comedy" in love added different intrigue, but what in the series "love for rent" love омера and дефне remained clean (innocent) for 69 series and what the audience no doubt in this has made this series special. - mainly in the romantic comedies as "love for rent", or in the projects on the love we see love between the two people in more than real world. but we didn't really wanted to. seemed to have been moments where I thought that we were unable to pass this love to sufficient level. for example, Omer and дефне not at all went in the movie. a little could be finalize such topics. but the most important was post a sense spectators love between them, although there was no such scenes. but I am very happy that we were able to and in this succeed. - and now you готовишься come out in front of the audience with a new romantic-comedy project. able to tell you about the film "time happiness"? - I play character named hell, it sculptor. film tells about happy period of life poor people doing view that they are happy. that each found your happiness. further development of the event let will surprise for the audience. the only thing I can say that when you view the film "time happiness", smile that you will be from the beginning of the film will not to go with your persons to its end. this is the film, after the end of which each leave with peace and happiness for the soul. there are movies that we are looking to dispel thoughts, when you view of which we do not think of any what where there is no drama. "the time of happiness" it was such a movie. - you do you like to see romantic comedy? what is your favorite movie? - I love the film Notting Hill, in which starring Julia Roberts and хуг Grand. I love it is such films. I really like the sweet love stories that make US to smile. I didn't look drama. for example, I want to see a movie, who won the Oscar, but not obtained and leave it on half-way. even if all like I do not be able to see. for example, in the film "life PI" I started to irritate the idea to live in the middle of the sea. some drama lead people to traumatic States. I usually love fantastic movies, or ужастики. - well as well as you again work with the same team? - how people it is difficult to happens to work on the place where they don't like, the same rules you can apply and in our sector. we are so happy that want to each his project to work together as an example. profit and I уйдем to work in different places, this time we will try to pick up with a шенола and his team. between US reluctantly there are such friction, as "you or I"? leave a different hand, in fact, it is not something that want to people. for example, recently, our director during filming said, "and it will end". at this point, sadness enveloped my soul. - in the film "time happiness" you снимаетесь with such a successful comedy actor, as probably this situation, increases the комедийность your movie. - we are very fun spend time with his brother дженгизом on shooting. it is a wonderful people. in the film we  are not sources of humor. but, of course, will be times when and we will make laugh viewers. for example, I think that the audience удивятся, when he saw some features of the character барыша- мерта. I laughed when просматривала small cut. in particular, ridiculous are times when they are in the frame with his brother дженгизом. and separately I would like to be noted that the дженгиз бозкурт plays the role of my brother. this in turn, also makes a person to laugh. when the audience will see US next to each other, they can think: "as in humans brother in general may be in this?" - I read reviews people about your re-meeting with барышем ардучем. many audience behave for example, if there was some miracle. perhaps you very happy what you were able to again so to please her fans ... - of course, to me a lot of wrote and during the shooting the series, and after the end. saying, "please remove the joint film". and dream of most of them realized. - is the first film, in which you are professionally are taking part. there is the difference between order to make the viewer to take into the hands of control and sit down for the view in front of a TV, and order to make it to buy a ticket and come see in the theater. what do you think about this? - watch TV series very easy, but as the viewer, I am very get tired see something length 140 minutes. no one can keep me so long time on the couch. and the film, as tablet - once accept and all ends. story begins and 120-Oh into the game is completed. and more, view something on the big screen - is a special pleasure. and I believe in the something that people will walk in the movie to feel this joy. - recently Turkish movie industry is developing rapidly. born there are a very successful work. - of course, movies not at all like TV shows. there is no fuss and thoughts that need to every week to prepare a series 140 minutes. at the end-all, you are trying to have time to do something and at the same time you only have one attempt at a shot. at that time, as in the series is possible to fix difficult situation in the current series, as early as the follow-, in the film is necessary that everything was in the proper form. it is for this budgets projects increase and their remove in places providing on the audience bright, a lasting impression. as a result, obtained better work. in particular, you feel it as an actor in the process of shooting. and viewers like to see US together in this project.

Part 3 💖
"We'll talk a little about you." How do you imagine yourself to someone who does not know you at all? For example, you are sincere, but you keep yourself within ...
- Yes, they say, I'm hot-tempered, I love people, sincere. But, as you said, in some situations I can build walls. Outside such situations, I am one of those who can stand on their feet.

- Is there any feature that no one knows and which would surprise everyone?
- From the side it seems that there is a person that is naive and normal, if you look at the other side, there is an overjoyed, living energy explosion, while other people are asleep, wanting to have fun like a madman, doing nonsense, an infinitely joking person.

- You are one of the actively using Instagram. When I looked at your photos, I noticed that you love to travel. Especially this summer you did not stand still.
- I eat in the same place. When I do not travel, I feel that I can not get enough. From every place I go I get something for myself. I study different things from the structure of the division of the city to the art of seeing the object, as it is used. I really like the fact that I can apply in my house a decorative detail, seen in Paris. I never stop seeing everything. Reading is not enough, to see, feel and try everything itself - it's completely different. Visuality is very important. Most of all, I have visual memory.

- Which place of the most attracted your attention?
- The place and style of life of Buddhists are very interesting. But I would like to go there again and again? It seems, no. Technologically, they are not on par with us. It's a little complicated. In Italy there is the Apulia region. Even the Italians are rarely there, a very beautiful place. I was very impressed by this area. I do not like to visit the classical places where everyone goes. A completely different experience to visit in Apulia, where you can visually saturate, get lost in the streets, than walk around Milan, Rome and Venice.

- Do you photograph a lot when traveling?
- I love to take pictures. Most of all to shoot everything around ... For this I bought professional parts of Leica. I'm also considering technical aspects. About this, as much talk with our director Shenol Sönmez. I ask, he explains everything in order. He tries to teach me everything from the diaphragm. Thanks to what they have learned, I use everything in my travels based on my views and preferences.

- It seems that we discovered your feature, which you did not know about ... Opera, acting, photography - everything that you are interested in is art.
- All art and I love everything that is inside it. Dance, draw, sculpture ... Actor, it seems, fell in love, too, therefore. Because it's inside art. For this reason, as I said earlier, I do not imagine myself doing another profession.

- As far as I know, you also collect. And even bought a collection from Ergin Inan. Are there artists or exhibitions that you are particularly interested in?
- There is interest in the design of doors and windows. I can not hold back when I see distinctive designs ... Every place in my house I can fill with drawings of special doors and windows. For this reason, once asked Ergin Inan about painting our door in the form of a table. I collect things at home that I like. There is a famous photographer named Derik Santini. Made in the form of tables of his work, it turned out incredibly beautiful. Also the sculptures of Demet, who was inspired by the paintings of Italian artist Marco Grassi in the style of realism, among them I like.

- In the "Time of Happiness" you also play a sculptor ...
- The story begins with the sculpture of Ada under the name "Pontus" and so progresses further, but except for the first series, throughout the whole film it is no longer said that he made many more sculptures.
- What role does fashion play in your life, being a part of art?
"Until very soon I did not occupy a very important place in my life." But, having got inside, having studied, having seen, has started to be interested. I especially like shopping, designers, when I go abroad. Interest grows more and more when you go in and see everything.

- Are there any brands or designers that you especially like?
- I like the minimally mixed futuristic things. I like Alexander McQueen. In everyday life I prefer such forms that belong to Muskeln, things with numerous rhinestones are not my style.
