I love to cook for my husband and daughter. I enjoy going to the market for fresh vegetables.

Beauty products always cheer me up and give me hope. If it makes you feel pretty, why not?

I've never had anything done on my face. I've never had dermabrasion or peels or injections of any kind, nothing.

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.

Life, I've got lots of friends. I don't complain.

I want to work for a long, long time and keep growing in my work, and if I am very lucky and very blessed, maybe somewhere along the line there will be one movie in there that becomes a classic.

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