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!'

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

If a Latina falls in love with someone who is insecure, it can be a nightmare.

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!

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

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

You know, I was the class clown in Catholic school, but I never thought I would make a living out of it!
