My heart has been stolen too - but I've gone and got it back every single time!
I became obsessed with all these women who die never feeling they did anything extraordinary with their lives.
What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.
I said, 'I'm going to the United States to study with Stella Adler and do movies because nobody here has done it and my passion is films.' But I came here and I didn't speak English, I didn't have a green card, I didn't know I had to have an agent, I couldn't drive, I was dyslexic.
What once was an expression of who I was - acting - also became my hiding place.
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.
