I received so many hate letters when I breast-fed a starving baby in Africa. I was in Sierra Leone in 2009 and I was weaning my child at that time - she was not there with me. There was a hungry baby who was crying because his mother had no milk, and I thought, 'Why throw away my milk if I can give it to a baby who needs it?'

They thought I was crazy in Mexico when I said, 'I'm going to Hollywood.' Nobody thought I could make it.

A mother is willing and capable of doing anything for her children. You can justify it if you do something for your children, especially as a Mexican mother. I don't know about some other nationalities, but the Mexican mothers are like that. They will do anything for their children.

Try to figure out who you really are and not who you want other people to think you are.

What works in a relationship of very public people is not making the relationship public - keeping it as personal as it can be. It's the only way it is real.

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

At one point in my life, I was very involved with social causes. I'm still involved, but now I have a family and it's important to me.
