I think people couldn't really put me in [one race]. I wasn't Mexican, I wasn't white, I wasn't black, I wasn't Asian... I wasn't anything, and I didn't really fit into anybody's group. My dad is Mexican, and my mom is French and Danish.

My whole life, when I was growing up, not one race has ever accepted me, ... So I never felt connected or attached to any race specifically. I had a very American upbringing, I feel American, and I don't speak Spanish. So, to say that I'm a Latin actress, OK, but it's not fitting; it would be insincere.

Actors are pulled in so many different directions that unless you both are absolutely into it through thick and thin and completely sure about each other, it's just hard. I've decided I'll never date an actor again.

Most nights I end up wearing a wife beater T-shirt and boxers.

You have to be the best of whatever you are, but successful, cool actresses come in all shapes and sizes.

It feels like I'm starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.

It's really, really, really difficult to have the same occupation as the person you're with - especially when you're both actors.
