I've always wanted to play Alice Kramden.
I'm a character actress, and I've done a lot of different shows, but 'Gilmore Girls' is the one that I'm stopped in the mall, in the restaurant, and that I'm recognized for. I'm so touched by it.
I've always been known in my family as the one who imitates the crazy Dominican relatives.
I used to sit on Saturday nights, and I would watch 'All in the Family' with my family.
Ed Herrmann was such a giant and was such a wonderful person. He was just a lovely, lovely man.
I'm very proud to be a part of 'Gilmore Girls,' and it's not lost on me that I'm not a huge part of the show, but fans still recognize me and care about my characters.
Comedy just comes naturally, so I've always gravitated to comedy.
I get a lot of my sense of comedy from my mother. She's very funny, but she doesn't know she's funny.
