People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength. I'm very proud to have Latin blood.

Being Latina for me is also being a strong woman.

There's a spirit of Latina women in all of my work, in the love of the body and the strong sense of self.

Unfortunately, I don't look as Latin as I am. I get called a white guy a lot, but I am very proud of my heritage. I try my hardest to bring honor to my Mexican roots. Latin people are very passionate and loyal, and I will always remember who I am and where I come from.

I'm extremely proud of being Latin; it's a big part of my life. It's not something I outwardly promote, just like I don't outwardly promote that I have green eyes and blonde hair. It's a part of who I am. I love the richness of the culture I grew up within.

Like most Latinas, I'm not afraid to speak my mind.

I'm the Latin artist who has been the most successful in history at representing the Latin culture. The stylings of my words are immodest, but it's the truth.

I love 'Latina'! You guys have always been so supportive of me and my career. Now I have my family, and it's just awesome.

Yes, I'm a proud Latina woman, but before that - before the color of my skin, my accent, anything - I'm an actress, singer and dancer. I'm something bigger than just my background.

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.
