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.

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

I love playing people who don't have a sense of humor for instance, there's nothing funnier to me than a person with no sense of humor.

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

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

Retirement is just not in my DNA.

I'm an actress, and I am Latina.
