There are a lot of magazines that are still sort of... that only cater to a certain demographic and only put certain people on their covers.

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

On the basis of being a woman, by playing an alien, I avoid playing someone's girlfriend here on Earth because that's a bit of a canker sore.

I'm a girl from Queens. I've never gone, 'What am I doing today? Oh, I'm gonna grab a gun and learn how to use it.'

I always strive to keep a balance with my fears. I don't like to be ruled by them. At the same time, I don't like the idea of living my life totally free of any fears. I like having that moderation.

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

I want to have more sex, travel more, drink more wine and love life.
