My grandfather came over from Puerto Rico and raised his kids speaking English so that it would be easier for them to assimilate.
I just want to keep finding special characters that I feel like I can bring to life and characters that are real and not superficial.
Tina Fey is one of my heroes.
A lot of independent films offer a harsh reality check.
Well, I was obsessed with Judy Garland growing up. Like, obsessed.
When I was in high school I was a really huge 'SNL' fan. I remember the cast around the time I started watching it - Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, Molly Shannon, Cheri O'Teri, Tracy Morgan. I did research to find out how people got on the show. Their bios always said they came from an improv team, so I started taking classes.
My people would love it if I smiled more, if I was more 'approachable.'
I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me, that's embarrassing, but World of Warcraft - not embarrassing, very cool.
I'm like that person who hates going to magic shows - and I love magic, I love wizards - but going to a show where there is any possibility of audience participation is a nightmare for me.
