“You can’t really compare people. That’s one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned, because comparing yourself to someone else really stops you from being who you are.”

I think you are who you are, and your kids will see who you are. So you’d better be a good person, because they are going to see it, and that’s going to shape them. They are going to become you.

There’s something so powerful about being my own gorgeous, beautiful, individual, unique self.

You could have all the riches in the world, but it doesn’t mean much without family.

I’m very happy with my body.

I believe if you can find something to give back to, your soul will feel fulfilled in a very powerful way.

I am able to hang with the hardest, the baddest, the worst, and I’m able to hang with the most proper and be at ease. I’m able to hang with any skin colour, any belief. I just fit in everywhere.

I’d rather not have anything than be a liar.

Empower us women and we will change this whole entire world.

Failure isn’t an option. I’ve erased the word fear from my vocabulary and I think when you erase fear you can’t fail.

Sometimes you need to start again, in order to fly

Everybody goes through their life in different ways. I definitely am having my journey. It evolves and changes. At some moments, I feel totally off center and trying to find my way back.

I think following my instinct has proven to lead me in the right direction, and it’s hard to hear sometimes, because it’s a noisy world and there’s a lot of people talking to you.

I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I’m discovering who I am.

I’ve always expressed myself best through writing. I’ve gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.

Risk the fall to know how it feels to fly.

Simplicity makes me happy.

To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it’s very easy in this game to believe you’re something special.

May you find INSPIRATION in the big picture, but may you find LOVE in the details.

Being Latina to me is living your life like it’s a big old fiesta!

You never know when some small thing will lead to a big idea.

I would love to play Wonder Woman on the big screen.

The table is where the big decisions of the family are made and all the arguing takes place.

When I get older, I don’t think I’ll like to have wrinkles, or a big jelly belly. I cannot have it.

But we will always support our girls in their choices and help them to dream big.
