You want to do movies that your children can watch, and that your children can have fun at and enjoy the experience of shooting.
Some men have a silly theory about beautiful women - that somewhere along the line they'll turn into a monster. That movie gave them a chance to watch it happen.
A mother is willing and capable of doing anything for her children. You can justify it if you do something for your children, especially as a Mexican mother. I don't know about some other nationalities, but the Mexican mothers are like that. They will do anything for their children.
~When Valentina was not even 1 month old, my aunt [gave me the best advice]: 'Put her to sleep yourself every night. Sing to her and cradle her in your arms and sit by her side - every night. Because one day you won't be able to, and it's going to happen really fast.~
After doing a juice cleanse, I'm motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally. Cleansing is like my meditation. It makes me stop, focus and think about what I'm putting into my body. I'm making a commitment to my health and hitting the reset button.
You can be a thousand different women. It's your choice which one you want to be. It's about freedom and sovereignty. You celebrate who you are. You say, 'This is my kingdom.'
It's very easy to feel someone's pain when you love them.
I know the only reason that I haven't gotten many good parts is because I am Latin - and they tell it to my face a lot of times.
I have tried my whole life to represent my Mexican roots with honor and pride.
Somehow I am really relaxed within the chaos of having a baby - and anyone who's a mother knows it's very hard to relax, because there is so much to do and worry about!
No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.
In fighting for women, we fight for humanity. We fight for the future -- for everyone.
You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all, love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you're in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.
When you are passionate about life, it keeps you young. Sometimes I wake up at 4:00 am just to see how my roses look.
