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

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!

Even though the stuff Im doing right now is relatively easy, I think in the future I would love to play things that have nothing to do with me and thats good.

This is my motto: Rejection is God's protection.

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

I would love to do a musical. When I did Fame L.A. for a year - all the singing, dancing and acting - I was in heaven. I cried so much when they cancelled the show. I mean, I loved going to work and I couldn't wait to get on the set.

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.
