I've never had anything done on my face. I've never had dermabrasion or peels or injections of any kind, nothing.

Find your own style. Don't spend your savings trying to be someone else. You're not more important, smarter, or prettier because you wear a designer dress.

I grew up in Mexico, not the U.S., and the fact is that there just aren't any parts for Latin actresses. I have to persuade people that my accent won't be a problem, but an asset.

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

Everybody has a weakness. Mine is food.

I want to work for a long, long time and keep growing in my work, and if I am very lucky and very blessed, maybe somewhere along the line there will be one movie in there that becomes a classic.

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