Our society really needs to take a better look at what we're selling, because I think women being empowered will be as beneficial to men as it is to us.

Family is something that I grew up with, and the Mexican culture has a lot of, you know - Sunday is the day you spend with your family, and you have 40 to 50 people at your house, the uncles and the cousins, and I grew up with that.

Sadly - and I think this is why it's so important that we do this more - I don't have that guiding light. You know, "Oh, that Sleepless in Seattle bilingual something," like, it doesn't exist. I don't have it in my memory, and that's why I thought it was important to make it.

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.

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

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.
