I am trying to be guided by my passion.

The most important thing you wear is your personality.

I was an open, smiley and gregarious child. I could make friends in 30 seconds wherever I went.

To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world.

As a child, I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important.

It's so reassuring to have a woman heroine who triumphs with more than just what she has on the outside who has more to offer the world than just a pretty picture.

It would be impossible to be a woman in Western culture and not have your own issues about your image and what you look like.

I'm okay if people don't know who I am, but if you remember my character that would be great.

Am I Latin? Am I American? What the hell am I? I love my culture and I'm very proud of my culture

I know that having the perfect body doesn't fix all your problems, or make you love yourself more. To me, it's all about being comfortable in your own skin.

I hope to be acting until I'm playing the role of Grandma, and I'd like to branch out in film - producing, directing, all of it. I'll sleep when no one wants to hire me!

In the heart of the slaughterhouse -- always -- enough room to nourish the awe.

Money to me is just the biggest blessing in the world that allows me freedom.

Every man has within himself the entire human condition

Nobody gets through life without losing a few things on the way.

If any chef ever tells you they're not inspired equally by the truck-stop barbecue as they are by the four-star Michelin restaurant they are lying.

Let deeds correspond with words. [Lat., Dictis facta suppetant.]

I implore those who love me to love my solitude.

My advice to young women who are looking to be successful; make sure you're passionate about whatever it is that you're doing. And make sure you're fulfilled by the opportunities within your job.

When our time's up, it's up. All the money in the world won't buy you one more day.

I think it's good to have a nice, healthy group of people all doing different things. A lot of my friends don't even work in Hollywood; they just happen to live in L.A.
