Britney's a very beautiful human being. After I worked with her, I realized that there was a reason why she was the most popular pop artist over so many other pop artists at that time who were more talented, had better voices. And it was because of her heart, her soulShe had the most amazing energy and was always positive and a very discreet person. We were young, too, and got to make a movie about three friends on a road trip. It was so much fun!

I am fluent in Spanish and I understand French, Italian and Portuguese.

What doesn't feel okay to me, what feels a little bit out of balance, is when you want to turn yourself into something else - when you want to be another person.

I love aging. Why would I want to be 21 for the rest of my life?

You have to be very committed and find happiness in the work that you do.

You find a way to work with people you have more in common with.

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