I think it’s not a femme fatale when someone is not doing it to manipulate men or be like a black widow. She loves him. She does it out of love. She wants him so badly to stay with her.
If it wasn’t because of my high heels, I would still be in Coatzacoalcos with 10 children.
If I’ve been indulging in rich foods, a cleanse is a wonderful way to hit the reset button.
I’ve stolen a couple of hearts and they are in my private collection!
There is a subconscious way of taking violence as a way of expression, as a normality, and it has a lot of effects in the youth in the way they absorb education and what they hope to get out of life.
I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.
My driving abilities from Mexico have helped me get through Hollywood.
I love to cook for my husband and daughter. I enjoy going to the market for fresh vegetables.
How I would describe my characters is absolutely different from how I would describe myself.
I don’t want to be size zero and I’m glad I’m not.
I have a ranch, which is my favorite place in the world.
I think that a lot of women that know they’re going to be part of history somehow decide to have a character to be remembered by.
I’m a country girl. I have to be in nature, so my daughter is exposed to it a lot.
I directed a movie and now, I’m going to do the editing.
My English was limited to vacationing and not really engaging with Americans. I knew ‘shopping’ and ‘eating’ English – I could say ‘blue sweater,’ ‘creme brulee,’ and ‘Caesar salad,’ – so I came here thinking I spoke English.
My accent was horrible. In Mexico, nobody says, ‘You speak English with a good accent.’ You either speak English, or you don’t: As long as you can communicate, no one cares.
I can learn my lines fine. It’s just reading them in the first place that is the problem.
My mother was devoted to helping people – with my father’s money! – who had great voices but didn’t have the financial means to study music. He and my mum gave away dozens of music scholarships, and my mum opened a school in town, introduced opera to children and created fantastic programmes.
I believe eating well, and with people you love, is about feeding your body, heart, and soul – I used juicing to ensure I covered my nutritional bases every day, and as a tool to restore inner balance if my body needed a break from too much indulgence.
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.
