Because I had an accent, people had this impression that I was dumb.

As an actor, you should be willing to take challenges.

I grew up in Venezuela, and when I was 14-years-old, my parents decided to sell everything and come to America. Five of us lived in a two bedroom house. It wasn't a sad truth, it was just the way it was [at the time]. That feeling is so universal for every immigrant.

The thing that I really like is psychology. I love the human mind. I love the choices you make based on your experiences and instincts and your development based on such experiences and so I guess that's why I love acting so much.

For me, I understood the gift of being able to empower others and to not do everything yourself.

I got hit twice in the face, and that was not fun.

No matter what our situation is, there's always a way to celebrate life and there's always a way to start again.
