No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.

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.

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.

There is an Arabic writer who wrote philosophy and poetry and who brought all religions and all the world together.

I don't believe in the so-called Latino explosion when it comes to movies. Jennifer Lopez doesn't have an accent. She grew up in New York speaking English, not Spanish. Her success is very important because she represents a different culture, but it doesn't help me.

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.

I have tried my whole life to represent my Mexican roots with honor and pride.
