Ive always loved movies since I was a kid. I loved how they could make me happy, sad, or just show me different parts of the world and people. So when I was about six, I decided that that was what I wanted to do: make movies.

I think failure is just a part of life. You can't avoid it in anything. I just accept it as a part of life and something that's going to happen, and you use it to grow. You use it, you learn from it, and you grow from it.

I really am happy that I met my agency and my management company, because they see me as a person and not just a Latin woman.

Growing up, I wasnt sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.

People that do good in the world or that want to do good, that have good intentions and want to help other people, and people that aren't concerned with themselves but more [with] others and helping in service of others - that inspires me.

As I got older, I would study privately with some coaches. Then I found Lee Strasberg, which I loved.

There are those special projects that don't ever feel like work but just a blessing to be a part of, and 'Revolution' is one of those projects.
