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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
