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.

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

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

[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.

[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 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.
