Telenovelas have been part of my world since childhood, I always felt like I had to be something that I wasn't.

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

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.

As soon as I came to L.A., I was told that I was exotic. I'd think, But I'm from Miami! I'm as American as a cheeseburger!

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