I began dancing when I was just 5, and I never really wanted to become an actress because its what every other model does.

We [Latinos] must be proud. We have the same rights in the U.S. as anybody else. Instead of crying and getting upset about visa problems and having our families come join us, go fight for your rights. Make yourself a productive individual in the society.

Always work hard, be honest, and be proud of who you are.

So struggling for work here has been very good for me, but it's also been very hard to handle rejection.

I used to be a dancer, and for me it was a really good combination of dance and acting.

I also feel that if you were evil, then next time around you would be very good.

For me, love is a pure, unconditional, nonjudgmental feeling that I feel towards some people and some parts of nature. Most of us love, but the purest love is the one where we take ego out of the equation, and that is the hard part of love, keeping ego aside.
