If I go on a diet and work out, I'm always in a bad mood. I'd rather be a little heavier but nice.

I can learn my lines fine. It’s just reading them in the first place that is the problem.

I have a small house so I borrow everything except art, that's what I love.

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.

I like to eat. I'm always on the edge of how much can I eat without looking too - you know. If I eat something salty, it makes me want something sweet. I eat something sweet, then I want salty. And exercise is not my thing, though I do it.

I was an illegal immigrant.

I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.
