My siblings are my best friends.

I am trying to be guided by my passion.

I'll sleep when no one wants to hire me!

I'm not going to miss wearing the braces very much.

The most important thing you wear is your personality.

I'm not ashamed to say that I cried at an animation movie

I just want to be in my sweats, walk my dog, watch TV and eat pizza.

Once I started drinking more water, my skin, hair and nails all flourished.

There's something pretty awesome about staying with a character and growing.

I've never been speed dating! I sort of wish I had, just for the experience of it.

I really hate the duties of being a celebrity, like getting dressed up for the red carpet.

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

I was young not too long ago, and I know the last thing you want is someone preaching to you.

I don't think running for office is anything I'm prepared for or could even prepare myself for.

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

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

You'd never catch me dancing on tables in public. I have no desire to be known for my personal life.

If I learned anything from Betty coming into my life, it's to just be open to all the things that come along.

Sometimes I worry more about losing weight than gaining weight, because this is how people know and accept me.

I mean, I grew up in the Valley. All my friends were white Jewish kids. So the Latino kids thought I was this white girl.

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.

My parents were both Spanish-speakers and they used to speak to me and my siblings in Spanish and we'd answer them in English.

I think it's hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy. Come on. They're not curvy. They're small. I'm curvy.

Finding the one is not just a feeling, it's an educated guess. I feel like I chose someone to share my life with who is my friend.

Nowadays I'd describe myself as earnest, terribly earnest. I'm the person who wants everybody in the room to feel important and happy.

I was just so lucky with 'Real Women Have Curves.' At that point, I would have done an insurance commercial. I would have done anything.

There's not really a choice about, am I going to pursue a typical career? Because I'm not the typical standard, so that's not even an option.

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.

They say 15 million people are watching the show, but what does that mean, you know? It's not until I'm accosted on the street that I understand!

What’s hard about being on the other side of the world is that sometimes the problem feels so big that changing one life doesn’t feel like enough. But it is.

What I would say is that vows and rings don't change anything: the challenges are the same. Every day is just a conscious commitment to making the next day better.

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.

When my mother was born on 14 April, he named her after a Latin American holiday, the Day of Americas, that nobody knew about. My due date also happened to be 14 April.

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!

What's kind of wonderful about being the voice in an animated film is you're a small part of an enormous production. And in a way, you get to remain a little bit objective.

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.

Relationships take time and energy, and your job kind of sucks that all out of you. It takes an extra effort to stay present in a relationship when you are working so many hours.

I'm the first one in line to go watch 'Spider-Man', but there's definitely something in me that makes me want to go to a movie and see something that makes me feel good about life.

You'll never see me at the launch of the new PlayStation or some club. For me, the fun stuff is being able to get my mom tickets to 'Dancing With the Stars' - she loves Mario Lopez.

The name America has definitely grown on me. I wish there was a big patriotic story behind it, but the truth is that my grandfather was a librarian who knew all sorts of random facts.

I just wanted to see every single musical I could. The very first one I saw was 'Beauty and the Beast,' the only one I could get tickets for, and then 'Les Miserables' and then 'Chicago.

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.

I miss Betty madly. I loved her. Whenever people talk about her, I get really nostalgic. There are parts of her still with me; I played her for four years and, of course, the lines get blurred.

I could have easily been too afraid to say 'yes' to Chicago, because it requires so much I haven't done before. If I am a flop at singing and dancing, maybe my love for it will carry me through.
