Let me tell you, a vacation's not a vacation unless it involves the beach. And because of that, I'm super careful with my skin and make sure to protect it. I always sit under an umbrella. And I'm a sunblock bully. If you're on the beach with me, I will spray you down with SPF 50-plus. Latinos, especially, think that we don't burn or don't get sun damage because of our darker skin. And it's not true. We are just as susceptible to melanoma as everyone else.

Hold on to the love, not the loss.

I believe that education offers the fastest route to economic mobility. I grew up with a family of strong, accomplished, and educated women. I believe, as they say, that you can't be what you don't see, and since I saw a lot of smart women in my life, education being at the center, I just mimicked that behavior. There was never a question that I'd go to college. In fact, I was the last person in my family to get a master's degree, so that tells you I'm actually the underachiever!

I have a personal trainer who comes over at least four times a week and kicks my butt. I get so sore that I can't even walk.

People associate farmworkers with illegal immigrants, and that's really not the case.

So many people think you have to be rich and famous to really create an impact, and it's just not true. Especially when it comes to environmentalism.

I'm not averse to being tied up in silk scarves. I like a man to take charge. There's something very sexy about being submissive.
