I love skin. I don't believe the body is something to hide.

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

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

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

I was a ballet dancer for so long, but when I realized I had reached my limit and that I couldn't go any further I knew I wanted to pursue acting. That's one thing you don't use as a dancer - your voice. And the one thing I use most in my life is my voice so it's wonderful to get to express myself artistically through the biggest instrument I use.

A child speaks more sense than an adult half of the time.

For me, it's very important if I do action movies and I have a stunt person, to work with them. Not only by memorizing the choreography but also it's important to study that individual and it's imperative for that individual to study you because you're not playing two different people, you're playing the same person.
