I'm happy with what I've achieved.

I didn't want to be an actress. I wanted to be a dentist, but you never know what life will bring you.

When I travel abroad, because I'm Columbian, I'm always one that they check twice and security and I'm the one that they open my bag and the one they pull to the side to check the visa.

I went to a school run by Catholic nuns. They were really strict.

It has to be a very specific role for me because of my accent. I can't complain; I've been working since I got to LA. But it is hard. I have no training as an actress so I try whatever I do like school, because I'm learning.

I love heels, I'm telling you. When I walk in flats, I get knee pain.

I never thought I would get such a perfect role in 'Modern Family.' A lot of TV shows now are looking for more Latin women.
