I don't regret anything I do, ever, whether articles I've done or things I've said. And as far as what's happened in the past, I wouldn't take anything back.

I'll talk about my Tony all day long.

The main thing is to be philanthropic in your everyday life. You don't have to have money to do that. You can do it with your time and your energy.

I was making almost minimum wage on 'The Young and the Restless.' But it was my first job, so I accepted my first quote. I had a great time on it, and it obviously led me to better things.

I grew up as the ugly duckling, they called me 'la prieta fea', which means ugly dark one - that was my nickname.

My mom had four kids, one with special needs. She had a full-time job, and she still came home and made dinner for us every night, from scratch. It was amazing.

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.
