If you're asking if my breasts are natural, yes, this is how I've looked since I was 13 years old.

I'm a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent, but I had blonde hair. It was ignorance: they thought every Latin person looks like Salma Hayek.

Sometimes it can be bad to have too much family. Everybody gets involved in your problems, giving their opinion, gossiping, and making drama. But when bad things happen, they will be there to support you.

In Latin America, women are supposed to be voluptuous. They don't believe that you have to be skinny to be attractive.

My problem is desserts. I am obsessed with desserts.

People shouldn't stay married because of the kids. That's torture for everyone.

Yes, I'm blonde. When I started as an actor, because of the accent and my body and my personality, it was not what the stereotype of the Latina woman in Hollywood is, so they didn't know where to put me. The blond hair wasn't matching. The moment I put my hair dark, it was better for my work.

You know, I was the class clown in Catholic school, but I never thought I would make a living out of it!

L. A. is crazy. The women all look the same now. That thing with the cheeks. Like Madonna. Who do they think they're fooling? It doesn't make them look young. You end up looking like a freak.

I use Spanish dancing as a way to exercise. I've done that for my whole life.

I do think it was fantastic to have a kid young. My friends now are all panicking if they haven't found somebody to have kids with. It was never like that for me because I already had the kid!

I've never gone out with a guy who is older than me by more than a couple years. Usually it's my age, a little bit older, or even a little bit younger. But not a 15- or 20-year difference.

I always tried to do the best for my kid.

For me, this is a totally new thing,

You know the writer is American? I don't even think she speaks Spanish. So that was good because the director has a lot of Latin roots in her. But I think it is a target to the Latin market because there is a lot of Latin in it. I think anyone could enjoy it because it is very light, simple, funny things. It's a universal language.

It was supposed to be an Asian girl, so when I read the script I said, 'How am I going convince John Singleton that what he needs is a crazy Latin woman?' But I did. I got lucky.

I felt that if I would chew a certain way and the director would let me do whatever.

I figured that she was the most fun of the girls. I was very excited when they gave me the part because I think I did it how it was supposed to be.

For the Latin market it's very common because that is who we are, we are very passionate people we like sexy type. I've been working for the Latin market eight years and I'm Latin so it's part of work. I don't see it as a bad thing.

I love dancing to Latin music, so I have a trainer who dances with me for an hour three times a week.

You are a woman so dress like a woman. Be proud. Be sexy

Well, in Colombia everybody's very voluptuous, and you're supposed to be. You don't want to be skinny when all of your cousins are mermaids. You grow up thinking that's how beauty is.

I've always been pretty confident. I grew up in a family of strong women, so I was always taught to be proud of who I am, the way I am.

Accents are funny. It sets me apart from the other girls doing comedy. It gives me more—how do you say?—pop-oo-laaarrrity.

I'm happy with what I've achieved.

I like business, and the truth is I save way more than I spend. I invest. I plan for the future. I have a special eye for opportunities and work harder than anyone might expect.

Confidence is sexy! I'm comfortable with my body and not afraid to show it off

Not everybody's confident their whole life.

Never take no personally. Sometimes people tell you no for a reason that has nothing to do with you. You must keep going.
