I think people thought I was crazy for leaving Mexico when I had any project I wanted falling at my feet. But I risked everything to come to Los Angeles, where no one knew who I was, and start all over again. It was a very hard step to take. However, it was the moment I thought it was right to take a risk in my career.

My driving abilities from Mexico have helped me get through Hollywood.

I told everybody that I was going to be an actress in Hollywood one day. People looked at me like I was crazy.

There were the people that believed in me when I was walking around Spanish Harlem, saying that I was going to be a Hollywood actress. They were like, 'Yeah, you could do it!'

But, I've made films in Japan, in Yugoslavia, all over Europe, all over the United States, Mexico, but not Hollywood.

I decided that, somehow, I had to get out of there and go to Hollywood. I had never been to America.

I was doing telenovelas in Miami and Mexico, and everyone's dream when you're an actor is to be in Hollywood.

I didn't think I'd do movies in Los Angeles. I never thought it would happen. In fact, it was not a fantasy. For me, I said, 'If ever I go there, they will ask me to do 'Legally Blonde 5.'
