My kids are my No. 1 priority. They're the light in my everyday life. The sunshine. The miracle. Those eyes. Those smiles. At the same time, I have an extended, amazing family that is my audience.

Everybody has their own story; everybody has their own journey.
I think that nothing is impossible when you want to fulfill a dream. A lot of people will tell you that you can't do it, that you don't have what it takes, but if it is in your heart and you feel it, there is nothing that will stop you. It is like the sun - you can't block it: it will shine regardless, if that is what you want.
The bad experiences make you stronger and makes you focus on the next project.
My idea is to bring out the inner child that my generation has inside, which does not go to sleep because of so much angst over the day-to-day routine. With so much going on, you start tuning out emotions and surprises.
There's nothing more addictive or incredible in life than reinventing yourself and allow yourself to be different every day.
I love Hershey's chocolate, especially Kisses, which are my favorite.
I'm a very strong woman.
The ultimate dream is a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I was thrilled to play a role on 'Dora the Explorer,' a show that has touched the lives of many children around the world, including my own child. Dora is such an iconic and important Latina heroine, and I'm proud to now be a part of the show's ever-growing legacy.
There are stereotypes - it's like an invisible line, but somehow you have to find the energy to be strong, to be super-confident, no matter if you are in front of the president of the U.S. or anyone else.
'Growing Stronger' emerged from a need to relate my life experiences as well as my constant struggle to prevail each day, and as a reminder to myself of the importance of never giving up.
This is the fantasy of every woman - to hold at our feet servile and tame slaves, like in Roman times. And the worse we treat them, the more passionate they become.
You are the only one who can create an incredible world around you, or destroy yourself.
In society, there is enormous pressure for us to try and look good, to be politically correct, to say the right things, to be polite and basically to sacrifice ourselves on the way.
I think my life in general, like that of any human being, has highs and lows, has moments of great light and moments of great darkness.
There's some anxiety the 30 minutes before the show starts. But once you step on stage and face the people, everything goes away, and you have fun and enjoy the audience.
I know I have difficulties with some verbs. But if they get me, they get me. And if they don't understand me, they don't understand me.
I'm more relaxed. I know I have difficulties with some verbs. But if they get me, they get me. And if they don't understand me, they don't understand me.
People were very passionate and over the top about showing me their love and affection, and they memorized my songs in Spanish.
I love to know that in all parts of the world, people want me. I need the attention.
I am an industry.
I don't smoke, drink. I exercise, drink lots of water, eat well, don't sun. Me cuido. There's a lot of things that I want to do.
Family matters should be that and stay in the family.
I've been starting in new places year after year after year. It's just like when I went to Greece or the Philippines. I love when people think I'm a new artist. It's a chance to start over.
The darkest experiences in a human being's life allow that person to either go deeper and stay depressed or get the strength to stand up stronger than ever, and that's my case.
I heard that I have three ribs, that I have more surgeries than Cher - whatever they say, they say; I know who I am.
My idols are Oprah and Martha. From nothing, they built industries.
My little boy loves mambo, and my daughter, besides Justin Bieber, likes bachata - in our house, we're always singing.
As a singer, it's basic to preserve what I like to do, which is music, and also to remember my cradlesongs in Spanish.
Everything is so fast now, everything is so disposable now, there's no time to build up a career like we used to have in the past.
Kids just want to have one song. They don't care about a body of work; they don't even care about a whole album - they just want whatever's hot right now. They download that song, and that's it.
I've always been singing, and acting was just something that happened.
I think it keeps your brain moving faster, singing in another language.
I'm Thalia on my own.
My mother, Yolanda, was a little girl who never grew up, and sometimes we would laugh, and I would say things like, 'Okay, so now it looks like I am your mother and you are my daughter,' to which she would reply, 'Well, yes. Handle it and pamper me.'
In 'Growing Stronger,' I expose my most painful moments and open my heart, thoughts and person, so that my experiences can inspire alleviation, consolation and decisiveness.
Since I was 9 years old, I have been working, hustling to find my own projects - from telenovelas to record deals, etc. etc. Way before I met my husband.
I'm a chava, a young one.
I want to reach everybody, from the little girls who are 3 years old, to the grandmother who watches my soap, to a young man in love.
I eat like seven men together.
I've learned that to survive, you need a positive state of mind.
I'm a lot of things at once. I want my audience to choose the side they like most about me.
