Hold on to the love, not the loss.

I was born in platform heels. I actually always fall down when I'm wearing flip-flops.

When people think of diversity, they think people of color, but it also means women, who are severely underrepresented as directors, writers and producers.

In my family, there was one cardinal priority - education. College was not an option; it was mandatory. So even though we didn’t have a lot of money, we made it work. I signed up for financial aid, Pell Grants, work study, anything I could.

What I want to do is create great content on television and movies. It is not my role to program only for Latinos, and you can't really assume that Hispanics only want Hispanic content. But I do think that we are severely underrepresented in television and film. And instead of complaining about not seeing ourselves, we should become film producers, directors, and writers, and tell our story.

I'm not a fan of capris. They actually shorten my legs.

My mother gave me one piece of advice that stuck with me. She said don't forget where you came from.
