I'm super girly and like to wear skirts and dresses all the time.

My first song, 'Just Becuz,' was co-written by the awesome Baby Bash.

I was afraid of the dark until I was, like, 15 and slept with a nightlight.

I remember seeing 'Pitch Perfect' and loving it right away. It's hilarious!

Sometimes you need a good laugh, and then there are times when you need a good cry.

Wash your face before bed every night. Your skin will thank you - and your pillow too!

I never thought I'd get [a 'Pitch Perfect 2'] audition because the film was just so massive.

I know a lot of a cappella groups, but none of them are doing backflips while singing, for sure.

I was singing before I started acting. As a kid, I would always perform at the big family parties.

I am so proud of my heritage and of being Latina. I would most definitely consider roles in Latin America.

I'm Cuban. Both my parents are Cuban. My grandparents are, too. Although I have no idea where Fit comes from.

I am kind of being a little selective in what I do, so it takes a little bit longer, but it's worth it in the end.

I was teased up until high school about my hair, being short, my high pitched voice, and just anything you can think of.

For whatever reason, acting took the front seat but all of the projects that I've been doing seem to have some sort of musical element to them.

I would do a 'Pitch Perfect 29', where the Bellas take on the Spaniards instead of the Germans. All the girls would have to learn Spanish. I'll teach them!

My family is very creative. My grandfather played the guitar in Cuba. My sisters, my mom and two aunts would do harmonies, so I would see them and think, 'I want the attention.'

My mother would always say that we had to look very presumida, and I took that to heart. Latinas take a lot of pride in looking their best and that might mean putting a little mascara on.

I sang throughout school, and it was always my passion. For whatever reason, acting took the front seat, but all of the projects that I've been doing seem to have some sort of musical element to them.

I don't feel the need to have to break out of anything or prove that I'm 'edgy.' Been there, done that mentality. I'm just ready to tackle on new projects that are challenging and help me continue to grow as an artist.

Latin beauty means being proud of yourself and your culture; being sophisticated and beautiful; and embracing your complexion - whether you have light or dark skin - because it's gorgeous. We're such a beautiful rainbow of women.

I was invited to a dinner party by an ex, and I was convinced that he wanted to rekindle our relationship. I prohibited my friends from coming with me because I didn't want to make it awkward for them when he professed his love to me.

My grandfather left Cuba when Castro came into power and literally left everything. He had two suitcases and two kids and showed up in New Jersey and waited for my uncle to meet up with him. Imagine - there were no cell phones back then!

As a kid, I would do all of the plays at my school, and I was notorious for being in five numbers in one show. I'd go onstage, run backstage for a wardrobe change, and then go back out onstage. I'm always trying to do more than I should but when I got my lucky break (or whatever it's called), I was prepared because I studied and worked really hard for it.

Because I also write, I really admire Latinas who are creating content. That's the next step. We can talk about seeing more Latinas on TV all day long, but it's about what we can do to make that happen. Women like Eva Longoria, Sofía Vergara, Jennifer Lopez, and Salma Hayek are producing a lot of great shows that feature Latinas. Those are the women who inspire me because they're not just acting; they're creating for the future.
