I was privileged to grow up in Mexico at a time when you could play in the streets. We lived not too far from the ocean, and we would be outside all the time with the neighbours' kids, running free. What better place could there be for a child?

For me, I have to say that I like to work a lot too, but I like not working better. The perfect scenario is when you just worked and you know something's coming up, then you have four, five, six months off. But you know you're going to have a job later.

Imagine if I'd said, 'I have to be the best actress - I want that and nothing else.' I never would have directed. I never would have produced. I never would have done a beauty line. I would have just worried about getting a job or been frustrated that I wasn't getting the job that I wanted. I was ready to be a businesswoman.

I'm good at working, but I'm very good at playing.

In fighting for women, we fight for humanity. We fight for the future - for everyone.

I think that a lot of women that know they're going to be part of history somehow decide to have a character to be remembered by.

I became obsessed with all these women who die never feeling they did anything extraordinary with their lives.
