“I don't take myself too seriously. I think it's important to have a sense of humor.”

“I wanted to be a nun when I was a little girl. I was very religious.”

“I'm very emotional. I'm a crybaby. I cry at the drop of a hat.”

“I'm proud of my Cuban-American heritage. I'm proud of where I come from.”

“I love the creative process of making a film. I love the collaboration.”

“I don't cook. I can't cook. I'm not very domestic.”

“I think it's important to be in control of your own destiny.”

“We're all human beings, and we all have insecurities, but it's about being healthy and happy with yourself.”

“I'm a modern woman in the sense of I take care of myself, I'm fiercely independent, and I'm really ambitious. Yet I have these old-school thoughts in my head.”

“I'm obsessed with my dogs. They're my children.”
