I just want to be part of great stories that are told and for them to be relevant.

To be seen and to be respected for my work and acknowledged as a true American Latina... means a lot to me.

I know the responsibility that entails from telling a story. The one thing I despise the most is when I go to a movie and I see a whole bunch of lazy actors making me waste my time and money.

Physical roles give me a chance to learn something new.

I'm learning the power of going away for the weekend and keeping myself company.

I like to look strong and commanding.

I'm a kid from New York, so urban life reflected into art and music was around me and accessible and tangible.
