I'm glad I was faced with different cultures when I was growing up because I wasn't fazed by it. It has been a huge benefit to me; I feel comfortable wherever I go.

I grew up having two different perspectives - one in English, one in Spanish. Two different cultures, very different - but I think that, to me, it's one. I'm just as American as I feel Latin.

I'm a young woman, and I'm growing up and trying to do it in a way I feel comfortable with.

I didn't go to drama school, so I feel like I did all my growing up on 'Hollyoaks.'

I don't think you lose culture because you act different cultures.

Music enables me to cleanse and shed the things that I feel are holding me back from growing, or growing up.
