I can wear a sexy dress to any red carpet event. My wedding is my chance to go all the way and wear a princess silhouette.

I've been blessed because every single role I've done has been an educated person. I've never done the stereotypical Latina, even though I have an accent - I've always been able to play educated people. That's a good thing!

New York doesn't care who you are or where you came from.

I had such a great upbringing in Puerto Rico, and it was just a very normal life.

I love someone who can make me laugh. And someone who's secure - I think that's sexy.

I don't believe in failure. I believe every setback is an opportunity to learn, regroup, get stronger, and try again. This is my motto: Rejection is God's protection. When people feel that they have failed, it's usually because somebody or something caused them to feel that way and taste defeat. I refuse to dwell on that. Yes, it sucks at first, and the feeling is valid, but it all happens for a reason. Let go.
