You never date someone's ex-boyfriend. Period. That's not even the unspoken rule - that's the spoken rule.

I'm Latina. I was born with high heels. We crossed border in high heels. We were running from immigration...I can do aerobics in heels.

Meeting people is difficult, period. LA is a difficult place to meet people anyway, and Hollywood is such a small community. But I don't make it a rule just to date other actors and people in the entertainment industry. It could work out with me and a dentist. It could work out with me and a lawyer.

I just want to believe in a higher power. That's a good way to live.

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

Staying in shape does not come easily, especially as you get older and you don't have as much time or energy to exercise. I used to be naturally skinny in high school and college. I was in cheerleading, ran track, and did gymnastics, so I had a built-in five-hour workout every day. Lately, I've been doing Pilates on the Megaformer, which is like Pilates on steroids.

It's really important to have a healthy sexuality and to be open about it. It's not a taboo. It's normal.
