I also have a film coming up called Breaking Up, and my part in that was not written for a Latina, and my character is not particularly pretty or sexy or exotic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory. I did some modeling, and Polanski gave me that small part.
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 don't want to get into a comfort zone. I am getting characters of varying shades, which I believe will help me grow as an actor.
I haven't done many films. But with every movie, I try to showcase a different side of me through a character.
I really like action-dramas like 'The Professional' or 'La Femme Nikita.' I'd really like to be in a movie like that.
It's so exciting to headline a film. It's not every day you see a Latina carrying a full-length feature.
It might sound dramatic and a little grandiose, but as a Latina, I would like to be someone that gives a voice to my culture.
I'd like to do a really masculine film.
Who's ever going to write a film in which I get the girl? Me!
I am done with the cliched heroine roles. I can't go to work without a challenge. I want to do films that drive me, films in which I am a part of the main plot.
