I Started Lying About My Age When

In My Circle Of Friends, I've Always Been Loud And Funny And Talkative. But As Soon As I Step Out Of That Circle, I Get Very Quiet And Introspective. I Don't Want The Spotlight On Me.

The Majority Of Latin Actresses In Hollywood Were Always Playing Either Spitfires Or Maids. Now Here Is A Woman Who Comes In And Does Leads Opposite White People And Black People And Other Spanish People, And She's Comfortable In Her Skin? Gasp! How Dare She?

Own It. Just Take It And Say, 'yes I Will Be Great, I Am Going To Be Great.' Great Doesn't Mean Being A Movie Star, Great Doesn't Mean Having Millions Of Dollars. Great Means Being Able To Be Confident, Strong, And A Solid Human Being That Has Dignity And Integrity. That Is Great.

I Did Not Try To Conform To Anybody's Ideal Of What A Latin Celebrity Or Movie Star Should Be. I Took A Lot Of Hits For It.

I Want To Be In Shape.
