Love food and I love to eat.

• I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.
• You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all, love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you're in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.
• No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.
• I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.
• I have a small house so I borrow everything except art, that's what I love.
• People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
• If I go on a diet and work out, I'm always in a bad mood. I'd rather be a little heavier but nice.
• There is a subconscious way of taking violence as a way of expression, as a normality, and it has a lot of effects in the youth in the way they absorb education and what they hope to get out of life.
• I really do love Diana Ross I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico, so while we got the music, we never got the experience of watching her.
• At one point in my life, I was very involved with social causes. I'm still involved, but now I have a family and it's important to me.
