If you feel good about yourself on the inside, that's gonna show to people. I don't think it's all about makeup and hair and how you dress. I think it's more of an inner thing and how you feel about yourself and that's ultimately what will shine through no matter what.
I want to write books.
I definitely don't feel like I'm what Hollywood thinks of when they think of a Latina actress at all. They can't wrap their minds around it.
Whenever I do Zoom teeth whitening my teeth 'zing' so bad. They're so sensitive. But I just put this on my toothbrush with water and scrub hard. It doesn't taste like anything and it works!
It's just all about the multi-hyphenate now. No one's just doing one thing. Even working actors have businesses and are entrepreneurs.
Whatever's meant to be, will be. I'm a firm believer in that and I'll make it work.
Marriage is hard.
I was told MTV VJs have no career after MTV, and I'm like, that's never going to be me. I was always about not feeding into the negativity and proving to people that I can do more than one thing.
I live for my son.
That is my priority, that my son is healthy and happy. I will do whatever I can to ensure that, and my husband is the exact same way.
I actually speak Spanish fluently.
The industry just hasn't been thinking outside the box when it comes to Latina women.
When I moved to Los Angeles to be on the radio, there was an acting school on every corner. You can't be in L.A. and not be into acting.
You can have a passion for something, but you still have to pay the bills.
I have a very strong faith in God, and I have a strong family base.
I'm very forthcoming, I'm really expressive.
I definitely had to take a lot of direction from stylists and make up artists and hair stylists, because I'm very much more of a sweat pants and sneakers kind of girl.
When I go to these auditions, I feel like I have to prove myself 10 times over... acting is a challenge.
I see myself stepping more heavily into the producing world. I like having that control, and being in control so to speak, and being part of picking great material and bringing it to life.
There's something great about life when you can do something you enjoy.
