I've been blessed because every single role I've done has been an educated person. I've never done the stereotypical Latina, even though I have an accent - I've always been able to play educated people. That's a good thing!

Go learn the language. Go take some acting lessons. Start from zero like everybody else.

My mother always gives the best advice. When I left Puerto Rico to pursue my dreams, she always supported me and said to me, 'I'm never going to cut your wings, so don't let anyone else do that to you.' That has been my philosophy through life. I want to share that valuable lesson with my little girl someday.

What's important is friendship and family and love.

New York doesn't care who you are or where you came from.

I love someone who can make me laugh. And someone who's secure - I think that's sexy.

Even though the stuff Im doing right now is relatively easy, I think in the future I would love to play things that have nothing to do with me and thats good.

I stay healthy through eating well, working out - simply living a healthy lifestyle.

I don't understand it, but every horror film is huge. I would consider one, but I don't know if my heart would be in it.

I thought it would be easy. I thought it'd take me one year to be Salma Hayek.

Five women working together is never going to be easy. It's a lot. But God is so incredible, in terms of the timing, because we are all married with kids, in our late 30s and 40s. It's a different stage in our lives. It's not about who is going to be the one that's going to pop.
