I didn't want to be an actress. I wanted to be a dentist, but you never know what life will bring you.

I'm fearless, I don't complain. Even when horrible things happen to me, I go on.

I don't think God cares if I wear nail polish or not. I don't think that's a deal breaker for him.

I never thought I would get such a perfect role in 'Modern Family.' A lot of TV shows now are looking for more Latin women.

I love jewelry - rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, you name it.

Beauty is really all about confidence. If you feel beautiful, then you are beautiful.

Never take no personally. Sometimes people tell you no for a reason that has nothing to do with you. You must keep going.

My problem is desserts. I am obsessed with desserts.

I guess at the end of the day, all women like to be appreciated and treated with respect and kindness.

I can turn around and scream and get angry, but I turn around and I forget about it.

Listen, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm Colombian.

And where love ends, hate begins

In everyday life, a blessed act of saying ‘hello, a smile, word of encouragement…’ can uplift someone spirit.

I can see that spark coming back when he talks about the future.

I live in the present due to the constraints of the time-space continuum.

There is no limitation to what you can achieve, if you can believe.

The pen is mightier than the sword, for by the sword are mortal battles waged, but by the pen entire cultures swayed, eternal societies arrayed, and souls of men saved.

Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.

Always remember, you are beautiful.

As with most things in my life, I believe you should try to enjoy yourself and never feel like you are a slave to a routine.

Power obeys reality, and not appearances; power is according to quality, and not quantity.
