I do think it was fantastic to have a kid young. My friends now are all panicking if they haven't found somebody to have kids with. It was never like that for me because I already had the kid!

My father told me that if I ever did anything artistic, I was going to look like a hooker. I told him, 'With these huge boobs that I inherited from your mother, I already look like a hooker!'

Never take no personally. Sometimes people tell you no for a reason that has nothing to do with you. You must keep going.

When they tell you that you have cancer, you panic.

I'm obsessed with food!

I guess at the end of the day, all women like to be appreciated and treated with respect and kindness.

I'm a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent - but I had blonde hair. It was ignorance: they thought every Latin person looks like Salma Hayek.
