When I was doing comedy in New York, before I was in movies, I was never known as the deadpan actress. I was just a comedienne.

I'm going to create my own opportunities. If I can't find the roles I want, I'll just make them.

My grandfather came over from Puerto Rico and raised his kids speaking English so that it would be easier for them to assimilate.

I'm not super comfortable in my skin. I have to make it work for me, and that usually amounts to making it uncomfortable for everyone else.

Once you do a character in Hollywood and people haven't seen you before, they put you in a box and they think that's all that you can do and it's hard to get people to take a risk on you.

I have an acting coach that I work with on everything that I do. The thing about my preparation process for getting ready for a role is I have sex with as many people as I can.

I have a way of dealing with situations where I come off awkward, or people think I’m purposely trying to make things uncomfortable. But normally I’m talking really slowly or there’s a lot of silence because there’s just nothing going on. I’m just totally freaking out, but from the outside perspective it looks like I’m in control.
