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!

My mother always gives the best advice. When I left Puerto Rico to pursue my dreams, she always supported me and said to me, 'I'm never going to cut your wings, so don't let anyone else do that to you.' That has been my philosophy through life. I want to share that valuable lesson with my little girl someday.

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.

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.

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