I never had a time line for my life. I didn't say I wanted to be married at 28 and have three kids by the time I was 32.

I've always thought of myself as a role model even before being a 'celebrity.' I've always been doing charity work and volunteering in the community since I was 8, so when you do that, I think you just assume that role when you put yourself out there.

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

Everybody needs a chance to find love.

A marriage is a partnership.

I could never give up Mexican food. Nachos are usually my go-to if I'm courtside at an NBA game. I always, always get my picture taken with my mouth wide open and a tortilla chip sticking out of it!

Michelle Obama is going to be an amazing First Lady: She's intelligent, capable and motivated. She just embodies everything that an American woman should represent.
