I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.
A lot of my social media posts are about celebrating these women who wear our clothes, feel great in them and have comments.
Even if you buy a fur glove with the little trim, and you think 'Oh, my God, it's just a little trim,' that animal got clubbed.
I love it, but it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane
I've learned that it's way harder to be a baby. Everything is a struggle for her. For instance, I haven't thrown up since the '90s and she's thrown up twice since we started this interview. Motherhood is cake compared to what it's like to be a baby.
[Affordable prices] are important to me. My mother lets me know [if something is too expensive]. With a few dresses, she's, like, "That's too much." "But Mom, it's $59.99." "It's too much." And then I go back and we talk about price points. My family keeps my grounded.
We shouldn't dwell on what is 'perfect.' We should celebrate our uniqueness.
I love therapy! There's nothing like talking to someone who has no emotional tie to your life
I feel I'll take on the responsibility of showing the world a whole different kind of Latin woman.
I have a cosmetics line in Walgreens. It's exclusively at Walgreens.It's called Circa and it's basically prestige cosmetics that are at drug-store prices.
I do like to belong to a man.
I might act like it's an accident but the opposite is true. I'm incredibly calculated when it comes to my career
When people write lies about you, and you know that they are lies, that means that they don't know the truth.
I wanted to go into art history. Acting fell into my lap when a neighbor took pictures of me and showed them to an agent.
