[on how she got the role as Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives (2004)] As soon as I read the script, I knew it was pretty special. The creator of the show asked what I thought of the writing as a whole. I told him I had no idea because I'd only read my part. He laughed and told me I'd got the job. He thought my answer was completely Gabrielle.

I love being a woman. I love the sexiness we get to exude. But the best thing about being a woman is the power we have over men.

I love men, I love being in love and having romantic dates. I love learning, I'm like a sponge.
