I felt really strongly about this script [ Everybody Loves Somebody] because, like you said, it's a very specific way of life.

I explain that as Latinos, we can also be professionals.

I feel that the power that storytelling has to change people, to bring them together, to have that cathartic sort of experience, is something that definitely has helped my life be worthwhile and better.

The patriarchal society has made women believe, first of all, you're only valid and valuable when you're young.

[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.

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

I would get very frustrated reading scripts that were bilingual but maybe not bicultural.
