Family is something that I grew up with, and the Mexican culture has a lot of, you know - Sunday is the day you spend with your family, and you have 40 to 50 people at your house, the uncles and the cousins, and I grew up with that.

Romantic comedies, if done badly, can be catastrophic.

Wisdom and white hair might not be as valued [in our society] as in different cultures.

When I was asked to change Laurel into a Latina for How to Get Away with Murder, I was terrified, because I thought, no one's going to know how to do this because the American take on my culture is never accurate.

[The main character] is in a forever-growing process. I feel the movie [everybody Loves Somebody] did that very well and not finishing off as "a woman's life ends when she finds the right guy".

I guess that storytelling would be for me to keep making art that touches people in a way that nothing else can.

I think that, for sure, we as women should try and realize that it's more about having someone to share.
