It's so reassuring to have a woman heroine who triumphs with more than just what she has on the outside who has more to offer the world than just a pretty picture.

What's so kind of beautiful about the whole thing was that everything that made me not right for all of those hundreds of commercial auditions that I went on and no one ever wanted me for is what made me perfectly right for 'Real Women Have Curves'.

There are so many wonderful shows that come out through the year. What makes some stick is an unknown factor, you know? It's gotta be the right show at the right time. Really, you've got to have magic elements line up. But I felt that this was going to be something that was really going to ring true to people.

I'm not going to miss wearing the braces very much.

You'd never catch me dancing on tables in public. I have no desire to be known for my personal life.

Am I Latin? Am I American? What the hell am I? I love my culture and I'm very proud of my culture

I'll sleep when no one wants to hire me!
