[Producers] promised me they wouldn't do that sort of "defining nature of my character is that Laurel is Latina [in How to Get Away with Murder] ." It has nothing to do with that. She just happens to be a Latina.

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

The music in the movie [Everybody Loves Somebody] is very much hand-picked specifically because it's our history and our traditions. The themes are universal.

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.

Mexican food is one of the best culinary experiences that people can have.

I hope that we start trendsetting [with Everybody Loves Somebody], you know, like having bigger movies also include that. Because I think it'll definitely change a lot of what's going on right now.

People follow my movies for a reason, and that's because I believe in them, and I don't want to just make movies for the sake of making movies.
