cannot
Doing a play is so fulfilling. Words cannot describe how I feel when I finish doing a play.
definitely
When I got into high school, my favorite artist was definitely Janet Jackson.
Staying in Vegas would've been too easy for me.
continue inspired stay sure theater
I always try to make sure that I stay connected to theater so I continue to be inspired. Not that I'm not inspired by television.
move
At Julliard, they don't teach you where to move your face for the camera, you know?
losing people vampires werewolves
If vampires and werewolves were walking around today, there would be chaos. People would be losing their minds.
comedy favorite movies romantic
I'd like to do a romantic comedy like 'Notting Hill,' which is one of my favorite movies.
I'm a sneaker head. You'll find more sneakers than heels in my closet.
maybe morning visited
Every morning, I'm visited by hummingbirds. I think it's nice, but maybe they're planning an attack?
fifty job trained versatile
If I'm going to be honest with you, when I trained at school, I feel like I was training to be a chameleon. I want to be that versatile actor who can do anything - that's why you learn fifty different dialects, you do Shakespeare, you do commedia, you do it all so that if any job comes your way, you should be able to do it.
arrive kinda time
I think that as a young lady, you start off not knowing what you want to do, and then you kinda arrive at yourself by the time you're 17 or 18, hopefully. And that's what I did.
box hard latina looks role
I'm all about the crossover. The role doesn't necessarily have to be white or Latina or black. It could be anything. But it's hard in Hollywood, because sometimes it's all about the box office. Or all about looks and things like that. It's not about the story that they have to tell.
positive
When you're not working is when you have to stay positive and remind yourself that you're talented.
mattered tells
I've always loved who I loved, and it never mattered to me where they were from. That's how it should be: wherever your heart tells you to go, you go.
