I love Miami; I miss it so much. I miss the beach, the peace it brings you. I love the sound and smell of the sea.

Making a fool out of yourself and putting it on the Internet is one of the best bonding experiences you could have.

Although telenovelas have been part of my world since childhood, I always felt like I had to be something that I wasn't. I had to put on so much makeup and wear a push-up bra and have huge hair with blond highlights. I was falling into a mentality where "more" was more beautiful.

A director once told me, "You need to act like you're on mute and speak as though the viewer is in the other room doing the dishes." You become a part of the house. We can make fun of telenovelas, but not to the point where we're mocking them.

I loved that people loved my dad. He never said no to an autograph but didn't make fame a "thing" or act any differently. And it was beautiful to have that support from his fan base when I started to study acting.

I especially want to change the way we as Latinas see our beauty. I feel that there is a misinterpretation of what we're supposed to look like.

I really want to keep on opening doors for myself, and others who want to come in.
