I've always been pretty confident. I grew up in a family of strong women, so I was always taught to be proud of who I am, the way I am.

Accents are funny. It sets me apart from the other girls doing comedy. It gives me more—how do you say?—pop-oo-laaarrrity.

I use Spanish dancing as a way to exercise. I've done that for my whole life.

When I get ready for an event, I always look at myself in the mirror and say, 'I look like a transvestite,' I love it.

Beauty is really all about confidence. If you feel beautiful, then you are beautiful.

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.
