But I've never felt objectified. Nothing you see me do is an accident.
I love a loose-fitting skirt with a cinched waist. A feminine silhouette is a no-stress zone - it's comfortable and I don't have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions!
Perfectionism is boring and doesn't exist-to strive for it makes you uninteresting.
I love sleeping. If there was an Olympics for it, I'd take gold. I'm Cuban. We love to sleep.
I remember reading scripts when I started in the business, and [Latino roles] were either nonexistent or written as the maid or a drug dealer. We're no longer just that. I'll play any part that challenges me. What's important is that all races have choices.
I feel I'll take on the responsibility of showing the world a whole different kind of Latin woman.
If I had a child, and I accidentally walked in on him seeing something, I'd rather he'd be seeing two people making love, than two people killing each other. USA in such a violent country, that I'd rather support sex!
We seem okay with violence, but nudity we race to criticize and censor.
I don't usually lose my temper, but if I get angry, it's true - I'm scary.
I don't go to premieres. I attend film openings I'm in, and that's about it. Fame and celebrity doesn't matter to me. The longevity of my career does.
I love therapy! There's nothing like talking to someone who has no emotional tie to your life
I might act like it's an accident but the opposite is true. I'm incredibly calculated when it comes to my career
It's important for me to work with a strong director because I know I can go to some really deep places, I just need direction on how to get there.
I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.
