I admire them [latinos] for making their way up and opening new opportunities for other Latin newcomers. Latinos have come a long way and the roles and opportunities just seem to be improving.

Always be your husband's best friend, make him laugh and give him a little bit of freedom - you can't suffocate him.

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

I thought it would be easy. I thought it'd take me one year to be Salma Hayek.

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

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!

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