It's easier for me to act in Spanish, but as soon as I get the lines in English and I know them by heart, it becomes really easy. You don't have to worry about the language anymore. It just takes more time. In Spanish, I can learn lines in 10 minutes. In English, it's going to take an hour.

I try to walk at least three times a week for 40 minutes or an hour. I do it at the gym on the treadmill, or I go hiking outside.

I'm weird. I'm not too focused on the physicality of a man. They just have to become my best friend, and then I start to get attracted to them. I've never been in a bar and just hit on a guy and started kissing him; I've never done that in my life.

I feel like I prefer movies, but, at the same time, theater is so exciting when you're doing it. It's a harder job doing theater.

I love playing tennis. To me this is not a workout, but a fun extracurricular activity I do with friends so it doesn't feel like I'm working out.

I would not change anything I've done or what I've lived, and with whom I have lived it.

I grew up next to the ocean, on the coast, and would dance the salsa all day, so I just learned those rhythms and knew how to move my body when I was very little.

[on being very scatelogical] I love everything that has to do with poo and farts, and my family was like that. I grew up in a family, we would all share a bathroom. We only have one bathroom. So I would be taking a shower. My dad would be in the bathroom and I would listen to him farting, and my mom would be doing her makeup. So we were all in the bathroom. so that was natural for us. So, we joke about that a lot.

[on anal sex] I think in my mid-twenties, I tried it once. I wanted it, but I couldn't even have ... nothing inside of me, it was so painful. There was no way.

[on moving from Mexico to U.S. to act] But I didn't know how the system worked here. So it took me a while to start to get jobs, even though I already had a movie. So after that it was very painful. Every single time that I had to go to an audition and I didn't get the roles because of my accent, or because I was too white for being a Mexican, or I was not pretty enough or too pretty for roles.

So my mom said to me that there was no perfect man. She said to me, and I was like 12, and she was like, "So listen, there's no perfect man. Man's have to have three things. Check, chic, shock, right? So check, check it's money. Right check. So a man who can give you a home, that you are protected, gives you stability, that pays for everything." Because we were in Mexico, you know, it's not like the US. "The man also has to have chic, which is a man who knows about art and he knows about travel and books and then takes you to the ballet and to the opera and dresses well, has fine taste. And the one who gives you the shock." So who fucks you well.

I love weed and it's something that I discovered late in life.

When you're in your thirties and twenties, you put so much in your looks and I remember dressing with body-conscious clothing, you want people to look at you, and you want to expose your abs and your legs and miniskirts. That is my experience. Now, I don't care, and it's way more fun.

I just want people to find that cannabis is something that, first of all, it doesn't have the withdrawal, you know that other drugs or alcohol or tobacco does. I think in Mexico is very, like everything new, it was all political with cannabis. So they didn't want because of the medicine, all the benefits that it has. So I just want also people to know that cannabis is fine. You can have a joint and it doesn't make you a drug addict and it doesn't make you ... it's fine. You can have a joint once in a while and it's fine, or once a day if you want.

I really wanted to be a lesbian for a week, because my sister, who is a lesbian, she told me, "It's so important you should be with a woman." It would never cross my mind. I was 35 or 36 when I did it. I literally had never had a homosexual thought, ever, and then one day my sister said that to me, and I was recently single and I was going through a bad breakup, and I said, "Do you know what? I want to do everything right now that I'm single that I haven't done.
