More quotes by America Ferrera
I am trying to be guided by my passion.
America Ferrera
Latino actors and actresses have had to struggle for decades, but when I came around with Real Women Have Curves, attitudes were starting to change. We screened the film all over the world - in Jewish communities, black communities, Greek communities, German communities - and people across the board said, That's my family.
America Ferrera
I mean, I grew up in the Valley. All my friends were white Jewish kids. So the Latino kids thought I was this white girl.
America Ferrera
You'd never catch me dancing on tables in public. I have no desire to be known for my personal life.
America Ferrera
I realized how Latina I was, and then also, at the same time, how not Latina enough I was, because I’m born and raised in Los Angeles. I speak Spanish, but I don’t speak perfect Spanish, not like a native speaker
America Ferrera
The name America has definitely grown on me. I wish there was a big patriotic story behind it, but the truth is that my grandfather was a librarian who knew all sorts of random facts.

Sometimes I worry more about losing weight than gaining weight, because this is how people know and accept me. I do feel like if I wanted to get in better shape, there might be a backlash of, Why isn't she comfortable with herself anymore? So I try to figure out what my own goals are.

What’s hard about being on the other side of the world is that sometimes the problem feels so big that changing one life doesn’t feel like enough. But it is.
America Ferrera
Sometimes I worry more about losing weight than gaining weight, because this is how people know and accept me.
America Ferrera
Once I started drinking more water, my skin, hair and nails all flourished.

When you finish a series like 'Ugly Betty,' there are so many voices around you telling you what you should be doing next and what would be good for your future, sometimes you can't hear yourself. I've gotten pretty good at tuning everyone else out. Now it's just me what pleases me creatively.
America Ferrera
It would be impossible to be a woman in Western culture and not have your own issues about your image and what you look like.
America Ferrera
My parents were both Spanish-speakers and they used to speak to me and my siblings in Spanish and we'd answer them in English.
America Ferrera
I'll sleep when no one wants to hire me!
America Ferrera
How much time have I wasted on diets and what I look like? People are saying 'We love you and love what you do' and you're sitting there thinking 'I'm not skinny enough or pretty enough.' It's taken a lot of work to get over that.
America Ferrera
Personally, I hate waiking the red carpet. You are expected to conform to every single expectation. People will say, Try as hard as you can not to sweat on the red carpet. Meanwhile you are super nervous, and there are tons of camera flashes, and people are screaming your name. It's not fun - not for me, at least!
America Ferrera
I struggled with being a Latino growing up in Los Angeles. I felt very American. I still do. I went to 35 bar mitzvahs before I went to a single quinceanera. I could talk all day about my culture and what it means to me.
America Ferrera
Nowadays I'd describe myself as earnest, terribly earnest. I'm the person who wants everybody in the room to feel important and happy.
America Ferrera
I just want to be in my sweats, walk my dog, watch TV and eat pizza.
America Ferrera
Finding the one is not just a feeling, it's an educated guess. I feel like I chose someone to share my life with who is my friend.
