I have an obsession with hot sauce. I love Cholula. I put Cholula on everything.

People may not know this about me, but I've always loved cooking. My favorite thing to cook is my mom's spicy spaghetti.

My little siblings keep me grounded. I'm a kid at heart.

I love spending time with my family and friends during the holidays, and my favorite holiday tradition would be the pozole that my mom makes almost every Christmas. It's the best!

My favorite holiday memory was sitting at home all day in my pajamas during winter break for school watching a bunch of old Christmas movies like 'Jack Frost' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' with my siblings and parents.

For me, my number one Hollywood role model is Jennifer Lopez.

In my industry, it's important to have people I look to for different things: guidance, inspiration and motivation.

I interact with my fans mostly through Twitter, and I like to do livestreams about every two weeks, where I say, 'Ask me anything!' and I just sit there with my computer for 15 minutes, taking a break from work, and answering their questions.

I'll never forget one time a fan came up to me crying, and told me, 'You really inspire me to be me. I feel OK to be myself now.'

Sometimes I'll post goofy photos of myself on Instagram without make-up or making silly faces. I don't always look like a little Barbie doll.

I would love to have my own fashion line because I love sketching.

There are days I'm feeling lazy, and my mom will remind me, 'Beyonce also only has 24 hours during the day.' That always keeps me going.

'Can't Stop Dancing' is this other side of me that I was ready to introduce to my fans, which is like, after you hang out with me, you start to see that I can be chilled and relaxed, and I'm a little bit more mature for my age.

If I can, I love staying in pajamas all day and watching movies and eating good food.

I don't know about you, but I love going on trips - especially with my family.

When I'm on family road trips, there is always Ranchera playing.

Miguel has this Prince, Marvin Gaye, old-school feel that I love.

I love Shakira - she is such a beautiful person. She does so many good things for the world on top of making good music. And she is an awesome mom. When you are Latina, it is all about family, and to see that she prioritizes family and her career at the same time is really nice.

'Latina' has become part of the Becky G family, and I feel very proud to say that.

I think confidence is a true form of beauty.

Never let the negativity get to you. There are gonna be a lot of people you have to plow through, but as long you believe in yourself, that's all that matters.

I did a lot of little girl groups here and there just to get more comfortable on stage. When you're in girl groups, it's a lot different because if you mess up, there's someone on stage to back you up, and finally I got to a point where I knew I could do it on my own.

I'm nosey, and I have a great imagination. So it's not necessarily things I have to go through, but it's things people I know or my family is going through, and I hear about it, and I think, 'That sounds like a great song.'

It's nice to get to know people who are the same age as you that do the same things because it's like a different level of understanding.

From the moment I went to Hollywood for the first time, I was accused by various people of selling out. So I feel I've done my sell-out films already. I've sold everything! I've sold every piece of soul I ever had!

I once gave a talk at a girls' school and, once I'd finished, 29 out of the 30 girls wanted to be film directors. I think that's where we need to get girls interested in making films. We need to give them the idea that they can, that it's one of the things on their horizon.

I've walked down the street with Madonna, and I've walked down the street with Colin Firth, and it was a little bit more... with Madonna they were a little rougher, but they were all there for Colin. It was amazing. Women adore him. They swoon.

I think it is a great gift to make people laugh, and it shouldn't be underestimated.

Making a big commercial movie is hard when you think about how many of them flop.

People have a right to have their lives witnessed; if we coexist with the systems that abuse people, then we have a duty to understand.

I hate it when everybody thinks I'm a... what's the word, a marauding mother! It's bigger than that.

If Twitter is worth seven billion next month, I'm happy for them to be worth six billion and spend a billion making it safer for people, for example.

The idea of the Internet as sort of open and democratic and free and with no hierarchy, the libertarian beginnings as it were, with peer-to-peer networks... I'd sort of like for everyone to just admit that we're beyond that now.

I don't see such a huge difference between online and 'in real life'. I think it has now become one and the same.

I come from the school who thought the Internet could be the great democratising force, that getting rid of the gatekeepers was a positive move.

The thing I have come to find astonishing is that people from all political sides routinely say that the Internet has to be the model of free speech and freedom.

When politicians say, 'Oh, parents should supervise their kids' Internet use,' it drives me crazy.

Parents cannot be in the same physical space as their children at all times.

Whether in cave paintings or the latest uses of the Internet, human beings have always told their histories and truths through parable and fable. We are inveterate storytellers.

Cinema is arguably the 20th century's most influential art form.

The film that changed my life is a 1951 film by Vittorio De Sica, 'Miracle in Milan.' It's a remarkable comment on slums, poverty and aspiration.

We are increasingly offered a diet in which sensation, not story, is king.

This idea of the digital native in the bedroom taking down a fascist regime and building a billion-dollar company is a very attractive image, but actually, if you look at the research, young people are on the lowest rung of digital opportunity.

For me, trying to articulate the world to help people see it in a way they haven't seen it before is hugely important. Sometimes, you have to take something that is completely inexplicable and say, 'Look, here is the beating heart of something you must understand.'

I think I've been very, very lucky in my life, and I do believe in public service.

Life is really hard for some people.

Make films whenever and however you can - don't take no for an answer.

In the U.S., it would be so much better if the studios made many more smaller films for niche markets rather than a few tent pole films that swamp cinemas and Hoover up all the funding.

We need to work out who is paying for film; in the U.K., it is increasingly difficult to get production funds - and pre-sales demand more and more shot/cut material.

My children know not to shout before Mummy has warmed herself into something human with her coffee.
