I'm so happy. I'm one of the happiest people I know. I truly am.

C'mon, we're actors. We love the attention. We love the applause. We sure don't like to be rejected.

Puerto Ricans are many colors - we are Spanish, we're French, we're Thai, Indian, we're almost black, some of us.

This is my idea of heaven, coming home and watching the news.

You can't, or you shouldn't, be nominated for an Oscar unless you've turned in a performance that's special.

I'm trying, now that I am in my dotage, to use a lot less sugar and my husband and I really try to keep close to a minimum of fat; chicken, fish, loads of salads and legumes. We both love all of those. To be honest, nothing that is in our diet is that original. We eat seafood but we do not eat shellfish. On the other hand, if my body says to me, "eat meat" I do. I listen to my body, I think that's important.

Ultimately, a city is formed by its people and the women in Berkeley are just great. They are opinionated, they have ideas, they belong to boards, and they write letters to editors... really wonderful people.
