I love Shirley Maclaine, love that woman.

My Latin roots are very strong. All my life, because I'm blonde and blue-eyed, people who aren't Hispanic can't believe I am. And people who are Hispanic always think I'm not, because I don't look like them. Being Latin is part of who I am and I bring that part to every role.

It's important to be active in the causes that are important to you... That's how we make changes in this world.

I don't say that I won't do nudity for other people's benefit. It has nothing to do with other people's, it's just what I'm comfortable with. I can't say this enough, I'm totally comfortable with my body. I like my body, I don't think it's a bad thing, I think I have a nice body, I'm happy with it.

I think we have to make our own rules. I don't think we should live our lives in relationships based off of old traditions that don't suit our world any longer.

I make films for myself, first and foremost, just because it is such a personal experience, and it's something I really have to want to do and feel connected to.

It's really important in our society to tell stories, and I feel grateful and honoured that I get to do that in this day and age.
