The difference between Oprah Winfrey and me is about $200 million.

I have gotten into a lot of trouble in my life for being brutally honest. Sometimes I put both my feet in my mouth. But like Elton John, I'm still standing.

Like most Latinas, I'm not afraid to speak my mind.

Latin life is rich with warmth, family values and history. I want to bring that beauty into American homes.

People would write me hate letters. How dare I try to represent Hispanics when I was so white? I tried to make them see it was racism.

In my house, we speak Spanglish to the dogs, to the grandchildren, to the kids.

I'll never retire from working; I'll keep my life interesting until I drop dead.
