It's more fun to play a good character with a good director and good actors around you. That's what makes it fun, and the more variety, the better.

When I speak about freedom, it's about freedom of the spirit. Freedom of the spirit can't be represented by a body. It has to be art. It has to be all the colors. It has to be something that moves and has no boundaries.

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.

Try to figure out who you really are and not who you want other people to think you are.

I don't ever want to have to depend on anyone completely.

I might not be famous one day. But I'd still be happy.

There is an Arabic writer who wrote philosophy and poetry and who brought all religions and all the world together.

Life, I've got lots of friends. I don't complain.

Leave it to the Catholics to destroy existence.

It breaks my heart because there are some parts I know I would have the right spirit for, and I just don't get them because I have an accent.

Botox, trust me I've been tempted - but I resist! Think about what happens to your muscles - and your skin - if you're sick and don't move for a few days.

I think it's not a femme fatale when someone is not doing it to manipulate men or be like a black widow. She loves him. She does it out of love. She wants him so badly to stay with her.

If you're paralyzing your face in your 20s and 30s, you're not exercising the muscles that give it strength. My feeling is, laugh, cry, move your face.

I have one friend that I've had since I was born, and she's from Coatzacoalcos. She's not really impressed or interested in the actor's life. My family isn't really either.

I think it's important that kids have responsibilities and understand the value of things, but I think it's great I get to travel the world with my daughter.

If it wasn't because of my high heels, I would still be in Coatzacoalcos with 10 children.

If I've been indulging in rich foods, a cleanse is a wonderful way to hit the reset button.

I've stolen a couple of hearts and they are in my private collection!

I don't want to be size zero and I'm glad I'm not.

I can learn my lines fine. It’s just reading them in the first place that is the problem.

Make yourself smell nice. I even wear perfume sometimes when I'm alone.

I was an illegal immigrant.

I think it's nice for women to try to be sexy for their man.

I'm good at working, but I'm very good at playing.

I'm saving my sick days for when I'm feeling better.

I'm suspicious of people who talk about their feelings to the whole world

When I'm doing a movie, that's when I relax. As stressful as it can be, as much pressure as it should be, making movies is still the place where I feel the most at ease and I truly enjoy it. That's why I make so many.

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.

You want to do movies that your children can watch, and that your children can have fun at and enjoy the experience of shooting.

I'm a country girl. I have to be in nature, so my daughter is exposed to it a lot.

What worries me the most is that most men are so weak. Because of that they act like they don't care and like machos - because they are too fragile inside. They're scared of confrontation and afraid of so many things.

I think today that's a very big problem because of the world we live in and the social media and everything... everybody is obsessed with their own identity, but seen through other people.

Sometimes when we try to get outside of ourselves, to be like someone else, you miss out on so many beautiful things that you don't know that you are because you're looking at someone else.

I think I'm very good at adjusting to anything and to any situation, and if you are good at being in the moment and adjusting, you can actually have a clear vision of what to do with things or how to do things.

Do I envy Madonna’s body? Yes. Do I thank God that she has it? Yes! If you’re fifty-something and you look like Madonna, and you put a lifetime’s work in the way you look, then flash it to the world!

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.

It sounds trite to go after men who are nice but when you've been hurt a lot it becomes appealing.

Find your own style. Don't spend your savings trying to be someone else. You're not more important, smarter, or prettier because you wear a designer dress.

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?

I've never had anything done on my face. I've never had dermabrasion or peels or injections of any kind, nothing.

Don't try to dress like me or wear your hair like mine. Find your own style.

...you have to understand that motherhood has to be your priority. It's important work.

I always look forward to seeing a man who has more brains than me.

I'm not a skinny girl. I push it. I'm at the limit of chubbiness at all times, but I'm happy at all times.

Life is about chasing after the things you think are truly worth it, even if they don't happen, I'd rather have nothing but know I didn't settle for something I didn't want!

I just love life. I'm excited about things in life. I think that if you're excited about life, you are excited about waking up and doing things with your life every day.

In fighting for women, we fight for humanity. We fight for the future - for everyone.

This is not love. It is a crime... You can't look the other way just because you have not experienced domestic violence with your own flesh.

It's very easy to feel someone's pain when you love them.

I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.
