I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period.

I feel I'll take on the responsibility of showing the world a whole different kind of Latin woman.

What I don’t understand about your type is that you want to emulate the other side. You kick up such a commotion about being different, and all you want is to be the same.

It's always fun to immerse yourself in a different time period.

I love playing a villain. I think that there's something freeing about that, and it's a different kind of challenge.

I don't believe you can get into somebody's character but more that somebody comes in you. You just use yourself. In everything I play, I feel like it is me. I just say different things on different times and look different.
