When I Started Acting, I Was Told

I Became Obsessed With All These Women Who Die Never Feeling They Did Anything Extraordinary With Their Lives.

My Grandmother Was Energetic And Fearless - A Talented Poet And Songwriter. She Was Also Interested In Chemistry And History And Medicine, Taking Care Of The People In Her Hacienda In Mexico, Delivering Babies. She Could Have Become Anything, But This Was The 1930s, And She Was Forced Into An Arranged Marriage.

I Don't Want To Be Size Zero And I'm Glad I'm Not.

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.

When I'm Doing A Movie, That's When I Relax. As Stressful As It Can Be, As Much Pressure As It Should Be, Making Movies Is Still The Place Where I Feel The Most At Ease And I Truly Enjoy It. That's Why I Make So Many.
