I should have asked for credit - but he has no idea how amazing it is that a character that was written as a boy can be equally written for a girl. It's like you said, just write a character as if it were a man, and then turn it and make it into a woman. It's like, we're human beings, after all.

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

I tell [scriptwriters] I think [their scripts] has too many stereotypes, that even the way they come in and out of Spanish doesn't really make sense, it feels forced.

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

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