I have been very fortunate in my life. I think I have an angel that is always with me. Good projects always come to me.

I like men who are intelligent and sensitive.

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.

My job is to create myself a career that I can go to sleep satisfied with what Im doing.

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.

It's a terrible thing to make films that are never seen or experienced by audiences. Often times nobody knows about them, even though they are great films. They are not promoted and that's really sad.
