What makes characters real are details, and if you're crafting a person from scratch, you're probably not going to pay as much attention to a question like, 'Does this person bite their nails?'
I will play the characters with last names like Sanchez and Gonzalez until the day I die, but I also want to play the 'Michelle Smiths.'
I went to college at NYU for acting, since acting was my dream from very young. I did a lot of hip-hop courses while I was there. I helped co-write a hip-hop production for the main stage of NYU, but I never touched rap.
I can live in L.A. as a struggling artist. I cannot live in New York as a struggling artist.
When I got out of college, I booked a movie called 'Go for It!' with Lionsgate, came out here, and I've been acting ever since - or trying, constantly trying.
Acting is how I'll be able to change how Latinos are viewed in media and change how little girls see and talk about themselves.
I do not devalue the role of a maid or nanny, or the stereotypical roles that some members of our family have actually done to feed our families in real life.
I grew up dancing salsa - you know, a traditional Puerto Rican dance.
I'm not messing with skiing. You can't get this Puerto Rican on the slope. Uh-uh.
