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.

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.

I'm suspicious of people who talk about their feelings to the whole world

I don’t have stamina in exercise...but I have it in life.

I have always been an active part of my community.

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.

...you have to understand that motherhood has to be your priority. It's important work.
