My new movie, Fools Rush In, is a romantic comedy and the girl I play in that is very warm, very sweet.
It sounds trite to go after men who are nice but when you've been hurt a lot it becomes appealing.
I believe eating well, and with people you love, is about feeding your body, heart, and soul - I used juicing to ensure I covered my nutritional bases every day, and as a tool to restore inner balance if my body needed a break from too much indulgence.
I can learn my lines fine. It’s just reading them in the first place that is the problem.
Leave it to the Catholics to destroy existence.
It breaks my heart because there are some parts I know I would have the right spirit for, and I just don't get them because I have an accent.
I don't ever want to have to depend on anyone completely.
Don't try to dress like me or wear your hair like mine. Find your own style.
My driving abilities from Mexico have helped me get through Hollywood.
I noticed in the past, a lot of guys who like strong women, they really freak out if you're not strong 24/7. Or they complain about you being strong, then the moment you're not strong, they're like, 'Oh, no, no, no.'
If you give me any problem in America I can trace it down to domestic violence. It is the cradle of most of the problems, economic, psychological, educational.
I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.
There is a subconscious way of taking violence as a way of expression, as a normality, and it has a lot of effects in the youth in the way they absorb education and what they hope to get out of life.
If a man lets all of my dogs sleep in the bed with us, then that is the most romantic thing. You must love my dogs in order to love me. A man who is nice to my animals and doesn't shoo them away - well, that's the height of romance.
