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.

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 don't believe in failure. I believe every setback is an opportunity to learn, regroup, get stronger, and try again. This is my motto: Rejection is God's protection. 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. Let go.

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

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