I admire them for making their way up and opening new opportunities for other Latin newcomers. Latinos have come a long way and the roles and opportunities just seem to be improving.

Go learn the language. Go take some acting lessons. Start from zero like everybody else.

I thought it would be easy. I thought it'd take me one year to be Salma Hayek.

New York doesn't care who you are or where you came from.

I love what I do. When a month goes by and I'm not working, I'm miserable.

I came here when I was almost 22. I'm perfectly bilingual, but I'm never going to sound like Sandra Bullock.

Always be your husband's best friend, make him laugh and give him a little bit of freedom - you can't suffocate him.

I can wear a sexy dress to any red carpet event. My wedding is my chance to go all the way and wear a princess silhouette.

I don't understand it, but every horror film is huge. I would consider one, but I don't know if my heart would be in it.

I had such a great upbringing in Puerto Rico, and it was just a very normal life.

I love someone who can make me laugh. And someone who's secure - I think that's sexy.

I was ballet dancing at four, playing piano by six, and doing commercials by 12. When I was 21, I was on the number one live comedy show in Puerto Rico. I told my parents, 'I'm going to New York to become a performer.' And I left.

I would love to do a musical. When I did 'Fame L.A.' for a year - all the singing, dancing and acting - I was in heaven. I cried so much when they cancelled the show. I mean, I loved going to work and I couldn't wait to get on the set.

I've been blessed because every single role I've done has been an educated person. I've never done the stereotypical Latina, even though I have an accent - I've always been able to play educated people. That's a good thing!

My mother always gives the best advice. When I left Puerto Rico to pursue my dreams, she always supported me and said to me, 'I'm never going to cut your wings, so don't let anyone else do that to you.' That has been my philosophy through life. I want to share that valuable lesson with my little girl someday.

I just gravitate to those more testosterone-filled sort of parts than me playing something a bit more fairy-like.

Progress is almost never linear. Ups and downs and bursts.

I never get tired of exploring Americana or country music, and I always have a little bit of a crooner in me that never seems to go away.

Drama is about conflict, and it's about putting obstacles in the path of people you who care about.

In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.

There is only one secret. To love what you are doing.

We're going for the joke on 'Children's Hospital,' and we're going for the joke on 'The League.' It's fun to go between shows, but you have to mentally remind yourself what show you're on.

For all aspects of memory, keep yourself physically fit. My catchphrase is, 'Healthy mind, healthy body, healthy body, healthy mind.' Your memory needs oxygen as fuel, so why not feed it often?

It never occurred to me that I couldn't change things that needed changing or couldn't have what I wanted if I worked hard enough and was good enough.

The next Led Zeppelin is playing somewhere, and they'll likely never make it because there's no infrastructure for it. They'll never get a chance.

There's nothing written in the Bible, Old or New testament, that says, 'If you believe in Me, you ain't going to have no troubles.'

I grew up Catholic, so I have these defenses about listening to anything with too much religiosity; some of the lyrics didn't sit well in my mouth. One of my beefs is the patriarchal setup. Having the 'he, he, he, God, God, God, king, king, king' stuff was hard for me.

My TV show had been cancelled; nothing else had gone anywhere; some alliances I had made petered out and nothing came of them and I was looking at a long, long year ahead of me in which there was no work on the horizon, the phone wasn't ringing. I had two kids, one of them a brand-new baby, and I didn't know if I would be able to keep my house.

In fact, quantitative findings of any material and energy changes preserve their full context only through their being seen and understood as parts of a natural order.

I didn't say I wasn't gonna do rockabilly. I just said I ain't gonna sing no song that ain't a country song. I won't be known as anything but a country singer.

If you wanted to dissect the structure of living cells, genetic analysis was an extremely powerful method, so my interest turned to that.

If you have the guts to be yourself other peoplell pay your price.

One of the symptoms of an absence of innovation is the fact that you lose your jobs. Everyone else catches up with you. They can do what you do better than you or cheaper than you. And in a multinational corporate-free market enterprise, it is the company's obligation to take the factory to a place where they can make it more cheaply.

But the Milanese have made bad choices, bad fashion, and bad jewelry.

Great leaders understand that historical success tends to produce stable and inwardly focused organizations, and these outfits, in turn, reinforce a feeling of contentment with the status quo.

One of the most fascinating lessons I've absorbed about life is that the struggle is good.

Major labels act as banks in terms of how they produce and release your album. No major label is really good or bad; they just 100 per cent operate as a business, which makes sense... no hard feelings.

To some degree, to control light, I have to have a way to form it, so I use form almost like the stretcher bar of a canvas.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. I actually feel like I come to work stronger when I've had a little time on the weekend to step away from it and enjoy my family and other things. I come back energized. If people think they're going to work 24/7, week in and week out, they're not bringing their full strength to the table.
