“I don’t need to be famous. I’m not that ambitious. At this point, if I’m not sucked in, I’m never going to get sucked in. Being the so-called hot girl, I disconnect from that. It’s not that deep.”

I like to cook. I would probably go to culinary school in France if I had time.

Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.

The films I do always have a happy ending. I hope it reflects back to real life.

I actually wanted to be a producer because I like to run things.

Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don’t care about fame, I don’t care about being a celebrity. I know that’s part of the job, but I don’t feed into anyone’s idea of who I should be.

You have to be tenacious, you have to be focused, you have to have a real vision, and be extremely passionate about it.

I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss.

I think that people who don’t like animals tend to be selfish, but I’m biased.

As far as being married and what it means to me… it’s nice knowing that I have a partner in life and that someone’s got my back.

When it comes to diversity, women are still underrepresented in so many different places, but one place we’re not underrepresented is we hold a majority of the household income, and we control that.

I think people couldn’t really put me in [one race]. I wasn’t Mexican, I wasn’t white, I wasn’t black, I wasn’t Asian… I wasn’t anything, and I didn’t really fit into anybody’s group. My dad is Mexican, and my mom is French and Danish.

Some [actors] are really a pain in the ass today. I held out on getting an assistant forever because I didn’t want to seem demanding… or like a pain in the ass. I didn’t want someone working for me to hate me.

I’ve been getting my makeup done professionally since I was 12, I’ve never found a brand that could create that glowing look and flawless finish we all want from beauty products with ingredients that were effective and safe. So I had to create it.

I’ve got cousins galore, Mexicans just spread all their seeds and the women just pop them out.

Good actors never use the script unless it’s amazing writing. All the good actors I’ve worked with, they all say whatever they want to say.

I can seriously spend five hours making one dinner.

I’m enthusiastic and ambitious, and I work hard.

I emphasize that I am full of ambition and hope and of full charm of life. But I can renounce all at the time of need, and that is the real sacrifice.

I just think a hustler’s ambition is that I never stop. I start off hustling and said I’ll never stop hustling. An ambitious hustler is the one to hustle the hustlers. When I grew up, my heroes were hustlers. Now I’m their hero.

The vague torment of ambition.

Physical fitness is extremely important to me. Only if you are fit will you be able to achieve whatever you want to achieve in life; you will be able to pursue your dreams, your ambition, you goals, and the things you love.

I’m hungry for VMAs and Grammys. That’s my main goal.

People who do crime do it for reward. But you end up in jail – that’s no reward. Through crime, your ambitions are low.

All sins have their origin in a sense of inferiority otherwise called ambition.
