Girls really like for doors to be opened for them. Guys should really remember that.
I'm bicultural, and everyone sees me as a Latina, but in my head I see myself as both Latina and American.
I don't really care if people think I'm good-looking or not; it doesn't define me as a person.
I'm so excited about 'Identity Thief'. It's such a good comedy, and I'm excited for people to go out and see it!
Latinos are very passionate, and they perform a lot, and look at me, I'm talking with my hands, and this is just my normal self, so it kind of allows me to be who I am and not dumb it down.
My character in 'Casa de mi Padre' is an ambitious woman. I had never played that kind of character before.
It's very important to me that people see I am an American and I was born in the States.
I want people to consider talent without a last name or a race attached to it. I knew it would be a long path but also worth the struggle. That's when I got my confidence and when I started to figure out what beauty is.
As soon as I came to L.A., I was told that I was exotic. I'd think, But I'm from Miami! I'm as American as a cheeseburger!
Although telenovelas have been part of my world since childhood, I always felt like I had to be something that I wasn't. I had to put on so much makeup and wear a push-up bra and have huge hair with blond highlights. I was falling into a mentality where "more" was more beautiful.
I love Miami; I miss it so much. I miss the beach, the peace it brings you. I love the sound and smell of the sea.
I especially want to change the way we as Latinas see our beauty. I feel that there is a misinterpretation of what we're supposed to look like.
Making a fool out of yourself and putting it on the Internet is one of the best bonding experiences you could have.
I really want to keep on opening doors for myself, and others who want to come in.
