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.

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.

Sadly most films only get exposure if they win an award or were in a festival, which is really difficult because those things cost money! Submitting your film to a festival or campaigning for an Oscar or a Golden Globe is very expensive. Most people don't know that, but all those events require a lot of money. If you have a small independent film, it's very hard to get the attention of people in those circles.

For me to start working, projects have to catch my attention whether they are here (in the USA) or in Mexico. All I want is to be involved in projects that are interesting to me, projects that are a challenge wherever they may happen, in Spain, in China, or in Hollywood.

I do not see myself, I never make plans, I never set goals and I never do that kind of stuff I don't like to futurize, I barely know what I will do tomorrow and because there is a working plan here, I've never futurized because life always surprises me with things even better.

I like men who are intelligent and sensitive.
