I Really Hate The Duties Of Being

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.

I'm Not Ashamed To Say That I Cried At An Animation Movie

Latino Actors And Actresses Have Had To Struggle For Decades, But When I Came Around With Real Women Have Curves, Attitudes Were Starting To Change. We Screened The Film All Over The World - In Jewish Communities, Black Communities, Greek Communities, German Communities - And People Across The Board Said, "that's My Family."

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.

Salma And I Had Run Into Each Other Once Or Twice At Film Festivals Because I Was Doing The Press For Real Women Have Curves At The Same Time She Was Doing The Press For Frida. She Had Seen Real Women Have Curves, And When The Idea Of Ugly Betty Came Up, She Thought Of Me. Her Enthusiasm About The Project Was So Infectious-she Spoke Of It With Such Expectation. Everyone That Was Involved Was Really Excited About The Project. I Really Wanted To Be A Part Of It.
