Life is about chasing after the things you think are truly worth it, even if they don't happen, I'd rather have nothing but know I didn't settle for something I didn't want!

I have tried my whole life to represent my Mexican roots with honor and pride.

I'm a country girl. I have to be in nature, so my daughter is exposed to it a lot.

Make yourself smell nice. I even wear perfume sometimes when I'm alone.

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.

What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.

I love to cook when I have the time. I don't cook French or Mexican food with exact recipes. I just go to the supermarket and buy things that look good, and I mix it all together and invent something. Ninety-five percent of the time, I'm lucky. Sometimes not so lucky, and I say, 'Let's go out to dinner.'
