I've witnessed racism all my life. And of course there's racism and discrimination in Hollywood. You go for a part and they say, 'Oh, we really liked her, she's amazing, but we wanted to go with something more traditional'. As if I'm not a traditional American!

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

Let's start creating better roles that accurately depict people we know so closely.

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

Where people really base their principles has nothing to do with the color of someone's skin, it has to do with money and their class.

I'm more of a guy's girl. I like having a beer in a bar, and I don't bicker or sit down and do my nails.

Trust me: Studios, investors, filmmakers, they will shift because they just follow the money trail.
