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.

All the products that are sold to us - those anti-aging products - are telling us that there's a due date.

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

I think Shonda Rhimes came to change television for women forever.

Romantic comedies, if done badly, can be catastrophic.

[Rhimes and Pete Nowalk] have definitely, from the pilot [of How to Get Away with Murder], brought forth a woman who is unapologetically herself, unapologetically flawed, and is as vulnerable as she is powerful. I'm grateful to be in that family.

What I do feel with the different scripts that they give me where I feel like this is done for one of those reasons, I share my point of view. I don't just say, "No, thank you." I say, "I feel that this represents Latinos in a wrong way, in a bad way."
