I'm good at working, but I'm very good at playing.

When I finally decided to leave school and pursue acting, my parents didn't take it very lightly. My friends thought that it was the tackiest thing they'd ever heard of. Acting was really beneath them. They couldn't believe that I would want to become an actress. Not now, of course.

I really do love Diana Ross; I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico, so while we got the music, we never got the experience of watching her.

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

I'm not a skinny girl. I push it. I'm at the limit of chubbiness at all times, but I'm happy at all times.

Producing is hell, writing is frustrating, acting is really satisfying, directing is heaven.

I have a ranch, which is my favorite place in the world.
