And I highly recommend for all the women in the world, even if they're 71, you can never take for granted that he loves you. It's always good to flirt with him. It's a great sport.
When I started acting, I was told over and over again, 'You're no good.' But I said to myself, 'You've got to keep it up.'
What works in a relationship of very public people is not making the relationship public - keeping it as personal as it can be. It's the only way it is real.
I like being a mother. For some people, it's so much work that it can be a burden. But it's not for me, maybe because I had my daughter, Valentina, later on in life, at 41.
I think if you are young and you have children, you still have so much to prove. When you have children later in life, you lose a bit of that urge for working.
I love being a wife and homemaker - because it's my choice. My husband doesn't expect me to do it. I don't mind doing things for him because he does so much for me; we both feel that way so there is no power struggle.
There's a lot about the character. It doesn't always happen, but there are some characters you really create a relationship with, almost as if they were your friend. And you never get into their heads again or think like them.
When I finally decided to leave school and pursue acting, my parents didn't take it very lightly. My friends thought that it was the tackiest thing they'd ever heard of. Acting was really beneath them. They couldn't believe that I would want to become an actress. Not now, of course.
I like to eat. I'm always on the edge of how much can I eat without looking too - you know. If I eat something salty, it makes me want something sweet. I eat something sweet, then I want salty. And exercise is not my thing, though I do it.
The truth is, I just don't have the drive to be the prettiest and the thinnest. I can be happy for other people for their beauty.
People always underestimate me. But if you stick around long enough, act out of conviction, and try to be honorable in everything you do, good things will come to you.
Make yourself smell nice. I even wear perfume sometimes when I'm alone.
I always look forward to seeing a man who has more brains than me.
I do have a Mexican accent, but that doesn't mean that I'm a Latin vamp.
