I am a positive person. I never think of the glass as half empty. I just keep pushing forward.
From Rosie Perez
You can learn steps, but you cannot learn how to boogie.
In my circle of friends, I've always been loud and funny and talkative. But as soon as I step out of that circle, I get very quiet and introspective. I don't want the spotlight on me.
The racism, the sexism, I never let it be my problem. It's their problem. If I see a door comin' my way, I'm knockin' it down. And if I can't knock down the door, I'm sliding through the window. I'll never let it stop me from what I wanna do.
I have a great career, and no matter what I am doing, a big blockbuster movie... or my small documentary, David Letterman will call and say I would like you to sit on my couch.
I think I just have this need to be a storyteller. That's why I wasn't a great dancer - I couldn't articulate a story. I was a better choreographer. I have the need to to just express myself in that way. I can't explain it.
I didn't appreciate Brooklyn until I left it.
I'm a lucky gal.
You know, you may not be born in Puerto Rico, but Puerto Rican is definitely born in you.
I was very willing to take on controversial roles that people didn't really want to look at.
