QUOTES:

• When I was a kid, it wasn’t very often that I could go to the movies and see an entire movie carried on the shoulders of someone who looked like me.
• It’s so exciting to headline a film. It’s not every day you see a Latina carrying a full-length feature.
• I have been a fan of Dexter (2006) since the pilot. Once I got the audition I just squealed, and you would have thought I just won $45 million.
• I’m dating a very high-maintenance career.
• To me, acting is like tennis. You’re only as good as the person you’re playing with, so if you’re playing with Michael C. Hall, what do you have to worry about?
• Latinos are the fastest growing minority, and we’re obviously not going anywhere. We’re extremely loyal as a people, and I think Hollywood is starting to recognize that. It’s very rare for a major studio to nationally distribute a film with Latino talent, not only in front of the camera, but also behind the camera.
