I Like Being A Mother. For Some

I Grew Up In Mexico, Not The U.s., And The Fact Is That There Just Aren't Any Parts For Latin Actresses. I Have To Persuade People That My Accent Won't Be A Problem, But An Asset.

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 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.

I Don't See Women And Think Of Them As Competition Or With Judgment. Women Really Move Me. I Feel Connected To All Kinds Of Women. I Am Angry Because I Think We've Been Mistreated Throughout History In Different Countries, Including America. I Admire Women.

I Had To Endure The Worst Time Of All In Terms Of Racial Discrimination In Hollywood When I First Started Out. It Was Inconcievable To American Directors And Producers That A Mexican Woman Could Have A Lead Role.
