My driving abilities from Mexico have helped me get through Hollywood.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
They thought I was crazy in Mexico when I said, 'I'm going to Hollywood.' Nobody thought I could make it.
I was doing telenovelas in Miami and Mexico, and everyone's dream when you're an actor is to be in Hollywood.
My survival skills are very good for Hollywood. Beyond that, I'm not really sure.
The truth is that I got to Hollywood, and I didn't know what to do once I got there.
I've been lucky enough to build a career outside of America, where I got 18 years and over 60 films of experience.
I developed a sense of self before moving to crazy Hollywood, which was really important.
I made a conscious effort to focus on television so I could stay in Los Angeles, so I wasn't on a location all over the world doing movies.
My advice for young Latinas interested in pursuing a career in Hollywood is to make sure you love to perform and make sure you get the training you need.
I've had no helping hand in Hollywood. But in general, I've found that when it comes to getting jobs, what's meant for you can't pass you by.
I studied really hard. But Hollywood never appreciated my talent.
