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!

Everybody needs a chance to find love.

I banned bottled water from my house - we have a water-filter system so you can drink from the tap. We always drink out of glass, and recycling is a huge deal, which everybody can partake in.

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.

I love to be pursued. I think that when you're not a challenge, it's just nnot as fun for the guy.

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.

I've been a longtime advocate of farmworker rights.
