On moving t
o the Dominican Republic as a child: "We moved to a small community,one culture, one devout belief, and one opinion about women. Latinos are traditionalists at heart,and super-machistas. Even though the women are the matriarchs, it's still a man's world. . . . I can climb a tree and score my own mangoes, and I'll show you that!"
On the fight against female inequality
in Hollywood: "The high road is no longer silent. The high road is speaking up and saying,'You're a d*ck! What you are doing is unfair. I'm not asking you to idolize me, I'm asking you to pay me equally, and because you always come to me whenever you need me for a press tour!'"
On men: "We feel sad for friends who are with assh*les,but when we have a valid gem, we acquire it for granted. When a man is wonderful, and it's infinitely sexier than a 'genuine' man! Men are beasts,creatures that can blow my intellect. But when a good f*cking man has walked beside you? That sh*t stops the exhibit."
On her two personalities: "My family makes fun of me because there is more than one person in here, and they are like oil and vinegar. One is super-easy, and chilled; the other one is so rigid that even the temperature of my water needs to be perfect."
On staying grounded: "I learned early on that in order for me to be OK,I need to surround myself with better people than me. I'm not being hard on myself, I'm being honest with myself. I have the tendency to score lost in whatever environment I create for myself. And I'm an artist; I'm prone to vanity. So I look to better people than me - my husband, and my sisters,my parents and my friends. And I'm like, as long as I'm surrounded by you people, or every time I want to go shallow,you guys always remind me that it's not about me."
