I'm also very passionate about charity because it helps people who don't have as loud of a voice as I do.

Creativity is what helps me escape a lot of my inner demons.

You don't owe anybody the present other than yourself. Take time for you. Respect yourself and your privacy. Set boundaries.

Go where you are wanted and stray from where you aren't. Surround yourself with positive people and environments.

I like to focus on what I'm doing now, which is giving back. I've done interventions with people I've been close to.

Growing up in America, I never really appreciated my culture. I knew what being Hispanic was, but I thought that since I didn't look Hispanic, I was white.

People say sticks and stones may break your bones, but names can never hurt you, but that's not true. Words can hurt. They hurt me. Things were said to me that I still haven't forgotten.
