I directed a half hour comedy pilot, 'Upgrade,' and had one of the best times ever! I had such a great time directing; I would love to get to direct another project.

I can be a nice person, but if someone is messing with someone I care about, the tougher side comes out a little more.

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.

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

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.

When I first started, I would go to Weist-Barron, and I studied with Rita Litton and ACTeen. For teenagers, it's a really, really great school. We did a lot of on-camera stuff, so you see yourself and what you do on camera.

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.
