My Driving Abilities From Mexico Have Helped

How I Would Describe My Characters Is Absolutely Different From How I Would Describe Myself.

I Don't Believe In The So-called Latino Explosion When It Comes To Movies. Jennifer Lopez Doesn't Have An Accent. She Grew Up In New York Speaking English, Not Spanish. Her Success Is Very Important Because She Represents A Different Culture, But It Doesn't Help Me.

The Thought Of Somebody Pulling And Cutting Around My Face Gives Me Stomach Ache. Plastic Surgery Would Be So Painful. What If It Doesn't Look Good? What If They Made A Mistake? I Couldn't Do It.

I Said, 'i'm Going To The United States To Study With Stella Adler And Do Movies Because Nobody Here Has Done It And My Passion Is Films.' But I Came Here And I Didn't Speak English, I Didn't Have A Green Card, I Didn't Know I Had To Have An Agent, I Couldn't Drive, I Was Dyslexic.

I'm A Bit Of An Abstract Figure That People Can Project Their Fantasies On; It's Pretty Much What We All Are, Otherwise We Wouldn't Be Stars, And People Wouldn't Be Interested. But People Project Things On You That Have Nothing To Do With What You Really Are, Or They See A Little Something And Then Exaggerate It. And You Can't Really Control That.
