[Everybody Loves Somebody] was a different take on that immigrant sort of life.

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.

I know that [Sunday is the day you spend with your family] is a tradition that I want to keep alive and I also want to share.

There's not enough of those inclusive projects where I feel like I'm interpreting a human being and not just a statistic or a nationality.

I think it's not an easy task because there's not enough Latino writers that are being given opportunities to write things - and I say this because I've been given a lot of bilingual movies in the past because of my career in Mexico, and they're like, "Oh, it's going to make sense for her to do this." A lot of studios want to hit that demographic, but they sort of do it without starting in the right way, which is having someone who knows the culture, and enjoys the language as well, to be able to write these things.

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

[Everybody Loves Somebody] one really loves both cultures, represents them in a very accurate, genuine, authentic, fun, fresh way, and it includes so many more people because it has that language aspect to it.
