Well, in Colombia everybody's very voluptuous, and you're supposed to be. You don't want to be skinny when all of your cousins are mermaids. You grow up thinking that's how beauty is.

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.

There are some who dream their lives away, but end up doing nothing, and others who do their lives away, and end up never dreaming.

Unless we are able to evolve a spirit of mutual tolerance for diametrically opposite views, non co-operation is an impossibility.

I'm not interested in a pretty world. It's boring to me.

I was thinking about that, about what lines you'd be willing to cross if someone took your loved one or child.

Oops! I always thought PETA stood for Please Eat This Animal.
