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.
There's something pretty awesome about staying with a character and growing.
I think it's hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy. Come on. They're not curvy. They're small. I'm curvy.
Once I started drinking more water, my skin, hair and nails all flourished.
The name America has definitely grown on me. I wish there was a big patriotic story behind it, but the truth is that my grandfather was a librarian who knew all sorts of random facts.
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.
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.
