When people write lies about you, and you know that they are lies, that means that they don't know the truth.Collection: Truth
I don't like my men to be too ornate. I like them to stand back and let their women shine, and they should really wear the pants in the relationship.Collection: Relationship
People are incapable of stereotyping you; you stereotype yourself because you're the one who accepts roles that put you in this rut or in this stereotype.
I love therapy! There's nothing like talking to someone who has no emotional tie to your life.
I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.
I'm a modern woman in the sense of I take care of myself, I'm fiercely independent, and I'm really ambitious. Yet I have these old-school thoughts in my mind.
I love every aspect of being a woman. I believe you should celebrate who you are.
I love having a man in my life, and being his woman at the end of the day. I know it's a dichotomy.
I'm definitely responsible for the image that I put out there. But it does become frustrating, because I don't want 'sexy' to be my defining characteristic. I'd love for my ambition and will and intellect and sense of humour to define me as well.
I feel I'll take on the responsibility of showing the world a whole different kind of Latin woman.
I just want to be known for things other than my sexuality.
I make conscious decisions to stay out of the limelight. Without my make-up I'm pretty much the girl next door.
I do like to belong to a man.
Maybe something that's acceptable in your teens or 20s is unacceptable in your 30s or 40s.
Once we got the scene down, we were told to improv.
I might act like it's an accident but the opposite is true. I'm incredibly calculated when it comes to my career.
I've never had a problem with nudity, but I don't put it out there without a reason.
I'm not an exhibitionist. But, honestly, for my art I'll do anything almost. I'll go there.
I know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol.
I try not to go crazy, but yes, I pay attention to what I eat.
'Anchorman' is my favorite movie of all time and Ron Burgundy is one of my favorite characters of all time. It's my 'Gone With the Wind.'
I love my country, but I believe that we are too quick to censor nudity.
We seem okay with violence, but nudity we race to criticize and censor.
I'm very comfortable with myself and my sexuality, but it doesn't define me. I also read books believe it or not.
Personally, I think wearing a baby chinchilla says, 'I'm ignorant.'
I've been with the same person for a very long time but I'm just non-conventional in that way. I don't think people need to be married. I think a lot of people need that piece of paper, but I don't think everybody needs that to feel secure.
I love it, but it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane.
Even if you buy a fur glove with the little trim, and you think 'Oh, my God, it's just a little trim,' that animal got clubbed.
Actors used to carry films because people would have to actually go to the movies to see them. It was the only place. But now there's none of that mystique, and so there's less of a reason to buy a ticket.
But I've never felt objectified. Nothing you see me do is an accident.
I'm a trained actress and I can do it, but I think that you have to prove yourself.

Perfectionism is boring and doesn't exist-to strive for it makes you uninteresting.Collection: Boring
I think it's so hypocritical to be so anti-nudity in films, and be so pro-violence. I'd rather see two people making love, than somebody being done in. Or being shot and getting their head blown off.Collection: Thinking
I have full faith in people. I think that we have the ability to change. We're habitual creatures. Once we figure out that bad habit and identify it, whether it's behavioral or whatever it may be, we change our habits. Obviously, I'm simplifying it and making it sound very easy to do, and we all know it's very difficult, but it's doable.Collection: Thinking
Once you stay open, it's incredible what starts unfolding.Collection: Incredibles
There's something very romantic to me about people who persevere, and who get told "no, no, no" on a daily basis, and still do it anyway.Collection: People
I hope to never stop growing. I hope that with every role I play, I keep adding layers to my craft. I love acting and I study religiously with my coach.Collection: Play

Rejection is good for the soul.Collection: Rejection
