- Nov 07, 2020
Am I Latin? Am I American? What the hell am I? I love my culture and I'm very proud of my culture.
- Harming

- Nov 07, 2020
I think Hispanic women are beautiful with their curves. I'm not sure who feels that way in Hollywood. I was never told to lose 50 pounds. If they think that they just don't bother with you. You just don't get the role and you never know why. That's still better than physically harming yourself and becoming unhealthy just to star in a movie.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
When you finish a series like 'Ugly Betty,' there are so many voices around you telling you what you should be doing next and what would be good for your future, sometimes you can't hear yourself. I've gotten pretty good at tuning everyone else out. Now it's just me; what pleases me creatively.
- Happy

Finding the one is not just a feeling, it's an educated guess. I feel like I chose someone to share my life with who is my friend.
- Challenges
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What I would say is that vows and rings don't change anything: the challenges are the same. Every day is just a conscious commitment to making the next day better.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I struggled with being a Latino growing up in Los Angeles. I felt very American. I still do. I went to 35 bar mitzvahs before I went to a single quinceanera. I could talk all day about my culture and what it means to me.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I miss Betty madly. I loved her. Whenever people talk about her, I get really nostalgic. There are parts of her still with me; I played her for four years and, of course, the lines get blurred.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first time I landed in New York and got a cab to my hotel, I was completely struck by it: a feeling of life and chaos, 24 hours around the clock, just like in London. And whatever your problem is, it's insignificant. You're just a small part of something very big.
- Friends

- Nov 07, 2020
I was an open, smiley and gregarious child. I could make friends in 30 seconds wherever I went.

- I Am

- Nov 07, 2020
I am trying to be guided by my passion.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I could have easily been too afraid to say 'yes' to Chicago, because it requires so much I haven't done before. If I am a flop at singing and dancing, maybe my love for it will carry me through.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What's so kind of beautiful about the whole thing was that everything that made me not right for all of those hundreds of commercial auditions that I went on and no one ever wanted me for is what made me perfectly right for 'Real Women Have Curves'.
- Because
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's not really a choice about, am I going to pursue a typical career? Because I'm not the typical standard, so that's not even an option.
- Enough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I realized how Latina I was, and then also, at the same time, how not Latina enough I was, because I'm born and raised in Los Angeles. I speak Spanish, but I don't speak perfect Spanish, not like a native speaker.
- Insurance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was just so lucky with 'Real Women Have Curves.' At that point, I would have done an insurance commercial. I would have done anything.

I don't think running for office is anything I'm prepared for or could even prepare myself for.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I work really long hours and work a lot and have done press tours and junkets, but there is nothing like a presidential campaign that I have experienced before... I think at one point we visited three different cities in one state in 12 hours. It's exhausting.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was young not too long ago, and I know the last thing you want is someone preaching to you.

- Remember
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember being a kid, and if you had to pee, well, you had to hold it until the commercial break. Then you rushed, and hopefully, if you're going to the kitchen for a snack, you'll be back before so you don't miss a line. If your sister sneezed or was talking over a line, there was no way of knowing what that line was or what the joke was.
- Experience

I've never been speed dating! I sort of wish I had, just for the experience of it.
- Different Times
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At different times in my life, I've made grand statements like, 'I want these many kids, and I want them by this age.' I think, with every year that goes by, I accept that I don't know when it's going to happen or how it's going to happen. I'll just take it one day at a time, and when I'm ready, I'll be ready. It'll reveal itself, I guess.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I feel like my convictions and my passions come from my very personal experience and the life that I've led. I feel the very naturally tendency to stand up for and use my voice for the things that I know about and the things that I feel passionate about.

- Nov 07, 2020
I have a lot of trouble understanding how people see me as a celebrity. I work 14 hours a day, and then I just want to talk to my family, see the people I love, pet my dog, and go to bed. I'm not looking to be best friends with or emulate a celebrity.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You'll never see me at the launch of the new PlayStation or some club. For me, the fun stuff is being able to get my mom tickets to 'Dancing With the Stars' - she loves Mario Lopez.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to hate getting dressed, getting in front of the camera and walking down the red carpet. It bothered me because I felt like I couldn't be what they wanted me to be. Now it's still not my favorite thing, but I get through it a lot easier because I know that my work brings value to who I am.
