There are so many wonderful shows that come out through the year. What makes some stick is an unknown factor, you know? It's gotta be the right show at the right time.

Am I Latin? Am I American? What the hell am I? I love my culture and I'm very proud of my culture
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

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.
