Maybe it's my age, but I know I look good, so I'm not going to look like another person suddenly because I don't have makeup on - same hair, same person.

I knew what my scripts would say before I opened them: 'Enter Conchita.' I played handmaidens, Indian squaws, and Mexican dancers.

Women over 30 are usually somebody's mother in a 'Porky's' movie, being silly and being ridiculed. There's just not a whole lot for them to do. It's just coffee-pouring on a bigger scale.

You can never fight for a part or can't beg them to do another audition. You can try, but that rarely works.

When I was girl, you could still get certain jobs if you didn't have a diploma.

I had a very poor image of myself because I believed too much of the people around me when I was very young.

I was dancing for my grandpa from the time I was 4 or 5 years old in Puerto Rico.

I am a very positive and optimistic person.

If I get a hangnail, I don't dare complain! Life is good. I wake up humming.
