I was lucky that audiences in Mexico liked my work. I was even luckier when I got to do movies and plays with my brothers.

I'm a European, and I live there. I work in European films, and then once in a while, I make an American movie.

I spent a couple of years doing American films. I did a few.

I've often gone to start a film only to find the producers surprised to discover that I'm American.

I started as a model in Mexico - I was traveling, but my base was in Mexico City. And then I studied acting for three years.

Yes, I am a Mexican, and I have a past and a culture. But what matters is the film itself, not where it was financed or cast.

I'm first generation in the country - my family's Mexican.

I grew up in Mexico, not the U.S., and the fact is that there just aren't any parts for Latin actresses. I have to persuade people that my accent won't be a problem, but an asset.

I grew up Spanish, so I grew up watching a lot of novellas.
