Even though I am very tied to and close to my heritage, I learned Spanish in college; I didn't grow up with it. Growing up in South Texas is different from Miami or L.A. where it is a necessity to speak Spanish.

I'm very efficient and the people who work with me always say that - they know when they have a day with me it's going to be really exhausting because I love to fit as much in as possible.

I just came into my own sexuality at thirty. I don’t think it’s something you can deeply experience at 18 or any time before that,.

My worst habit in the kitchen is not allowing anybody to help me. I like to cook by myself.
