More quotes by 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
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.

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
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
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.

What's kind of wonderful about being the voice in an animated film is you're a small part of an enormous production. And in a way, you get to remain a little bit objective.
America Ferrera
As a child, I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important.
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
Paparazzi will sit outside my house to see where I'm going, and when they see it's the studio, they'll be like, This is boring, and drive off. But you'd never catch me dancing on tables in public. I have no desire to be known for my personal life.
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.
America Ferrera
I'll sleep when no one wants to hire me!
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.
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 just wanted to see every single musical I could. The very first one I saw was 'Beauty and the Beast,' the only one I could get tickets for, and then 'Les Miserables' and then 'Chicago.
America Ferrera
I know that having the perfect body doesn't fix all your problems, or make you love yourself more. To me, it's all about being comfortable in your own skin.
America Ferrera
Relationships take time and energy, and your job kind of sucks that all out of you. It takes an extra effort to stay present in a relationship when you are working kind of hours.

I think Hispanic women are beautiful with their curves. I'm not sure who feels that way in Hollywood. I was never told to lose 50 pounds. If they think that they just don't bother with you. You just don't get the role and you never know why. That's still better than physically harming yourself and becoming unhealthy just to star in a movie.
America Ferrera
I don't think running for office is anything I'm prepared for or could even prepare myself for.
America Ferrera
As early as second grade I remember feeling really different and isolated. I had the hugest crush on a boy, and my best friend had a crush on him, too. One day he said to me, 'I like your best friend more because she's paler and she has freckles.' And it was right then that I began to feel like, Oh wow, I'm different.

The first time I landed in New York and got a cab to my hotel, I was completely struck by it: a feeling of life and chaos, 24 hours around the clock, just like in London. And whatever your problem is, it's insignificant. You're just a small part of something very big.
