A mother is willing and capable of doing anything for her children. You can justify it if you do something for your children, especially as a Mexican mother. I don't know about some other nationalities, but the Mexican mothers are like that. They will do anything for their children.
As a woman, you should be more at ease with your sexuality when you are in your 40s...You are more self-assured about that part. And that's the way it should be.
I think if I was not in love, I would probably let myself go faster. Love gives me the vanity to continue.
No surgical tweaks. No Botox either. I think it is terrible, these girls in their late 20s injecting their faces and lips. One told me, If I kill my muscles now, I'll never get wrinkles. Can you imagine?
When it is important for you to say something and you find a vehicle to say it, then go for it. It is so rare when that happens so I think every minute spent fighting for it is always worth it. Even if nothing ends up happening, it's still worth the fight.
If a man lets all of my dogs sleep in the bed with us, then that is the most romantic thing. You must love my dogs in order to love me. A man who is nice to my animals and doesn't shoo them away - well, that's the height of romance.
I had to endure the worst time of all in terms of racial discrimination in Hollywood when i first started out. It was inconcievable to American directors and producers that a Mexican woman could have a lead role.
Beauty products always cheer me up and give me hope. If it makes you feel pretty, why not?
If you're feeling blue, lock yourself in a room, stand in front of a mirror, and dance - and laugh at yourself and be sexy. Dance the silliest and ugliest you've ever danced. Make fun of yourself and try to recover your sense of humor.
I work hard, I make my own living and I love it. I like having financial independence.
I've never had anything done on my face. I've never had dermabrasion or peels or injections of any kind, nothing.
If I go on a diet and work out, I'm always in a bad mood. I'd rather be a little heavier but nice.
...you have to understand that motherhood has to be your priority. It's important work.
I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.
When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort, but I don't like to diet and I'm not good at it.
I've stolen a couple of hearts and they are in my private collection!
I think it's nice for women to try to be sexy for their man.
I'm suspicious of people who talk about their feelings to the whole world
What once was an expression of who I was - acting - also became my hiding place.
Leave it to the Catholics to destroy existence.
I love to cook when I have the time. I don't cook French or Mexican food with exact recipes. I just go to the supermarket and buy things that look good, and I mix it all together and invent something. Ninety-five percent of the time, I'm lucky. Sometimes not so lucky, and I say, 'Let's go out to dinner.'
I think being able to be malleable is a great weapon and I'm a very, very good strategist. I create the most amazing strategies in my head and I have created the most extraordinary strategies in my head for my career.
People say we're all identical, but Jennifer Lopez is an American. She's from New York. She doesn't have an accent. Some of these Latin people - their Spanish is pathetic. They learned it when they became famous as Latinos.
Some men have a silly theory about beautiful women - that somewhere along the line they'll turn into a monster. That movie gave them a chance to watch it happen.
I'm a country girl. I have to be in nature, so my daughter is exposed to it a lot.
