Our brains are very animal but also very strange and egotistical. We're narcissistic.

In dance you use every party of your body except your voice. I wanted to start acting because I wanted to use my voice.

I don't understand labels. I don't need anybody to tell me I'm Latina or black or anything else. I've played characters that were written for Caucasian females, I just want to be given the same consideration as everybody else, and so far that has been happening.

I love women. I worship women. Don’t want to be any other woman but myself.

The biggest obstacle I've had to overcome is being a woman in a man's world.

I find it really frustrating when people go, "I want to be famous and glamorous like you." It's hard for me not to have a bad thought when someone says that to me, since if there's anything this business is not, is glamorous. It's only glamorous for maybe five minutes every now and then.

I get along very well with animals and children. I dig them, I get them.
