My greatest obstacle has to be accepting that the business that I chose to be part of is based on rejection and constantly trying to prove yourself. Letting go of seeing my accent and the way I speak as a limitation. Accepting it as who I am and where I came from.

What's important is friendship and family and love.

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

I love what I do. When a month goes by and I'm not working, I'm miserable.

I don't believe in failure. I believe every setback is an opportunity to learn, regroup, get stronger, and try again.

Go learn the language. Go take some acting lessons. Start from zero like everybody else.

I was ballet dancing at four, playing piano by six, and doing commercials by 12. When I was 21, I was on the number one live comedy show in Puerto Rico. I told my parents, 'I'm going to New York to become a performer.' And I left.
