I don't see women and think of them as competition or with judgment. Women really move me. I feel connected to all kinds of women. I am angry because I think we've been mistreated throughout history in different countries, including America. I admire women.

I like being a mother. For some people, it's so much work that it can be a burden. But it's not for me, maybe because I had my daughter, Valentina, later on in life, at 41.

I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.

Do I envy Madonna’s body? Yes. Do I thank God that she has it? Yes! If you’re fifty-something and you look like Madonna, and you put a lifetime’s work in the way you look, then flash it to the world!

When I started acting, I was told over and over again, 'You're no good.' But I said to myself, 'You've got to keep it up.'

It breaks my heart because there are some parts I know I would have the right spirit for, and I just don't get them because I have an accent.

The thought of somebody pulling and cutting around my face gives me stomach ache. Plastic surgery would be so painful. What if it doesn't look good? What if they made a mistake? I couldn't do it.
