I'm learning so much, I'm surprising myself everyday with the things that are happening, the rhythms. I'm very happy and very excited.

I'm still fighting to get the things I want and to do the projects I want to do. I think it will always be a fight or a challenge, but not being in my comfort zone keeps me very excited and happy.

You have to constantly be doing something and not just wait for someone to call you with an opportunity, you have to develop your own projects.

I started in movies in Mexico and started doing telenovelas in Mexico. American Family was the first thing I did in English.

First, I eat healthy; it comes from the inside out. If you eat right, your skin, hair, nails will look good. The same if you have negative thoughts - they can give you a bad look, too; we reflect what we eat and think. We also taste and smell what we eat. Being happy and doing what I love really reflects.

What the rest of the world knows about Mexico is what they see on films and the bad news they see on TV. We need to make films that are worthy of who we really are as Mexicans. We also need to make cinema that reflects the diversity in the region, so that Americans and Europeans know who Mexicans are, who Salvadorians are, who Cubans are, etc. We need to do it, and all we really need is support because we have the talent.

I will never stop working on Spanish-language projects because that's my language, and because I'm a Latina and Mexican before anything else.
