I Don't Believe In Failure. I Believe

I've Been Blessed Because Every Single Role I've Done Has Been An Educated Person. I've Never Done The Stereotypical Latina, Even Though I Have An Accent - I've Always Been Able To Play Educated People. That's A Good Thing!

My Mother Always Gives The Best Advice. When I Left Puerto Rico To Pursue My Dreams, She Always Supported Me And Said To Me, 'i'm Never Going To Cut Your Wings, So Don't Let Anyone Else Do That To You.' That Has Been My Philosophy Through Life. I Want To Share That Valuable Lesson With My Little Girl Someday.

When People Feel That They Have Failed, It's Usually Because Somebody Or Something Caused Them To Feel That Way And Taste Defeat. I Refuse To Dwell On That. Yes, It Sucks At First, And The Feeling Is Valid, But It All Happens For A Reason.

I Admire Them [latinos] For Making Their Way Up And Opening New Opportunities For Other Latin Newcomers. Latinos Have Come A Long Way And The Roles And Opportunities Just Seem To Be Improving.

I Was Ballet Dancing At Four, Playing Piano By Six, And Doing Commercials By 12. When I Was 21, I Was On The Number One Live Comedy Show In Puerto Rico. I Told My Parents, 'i'm Going To New York To Become A Performer.' And I Left.
