Zitat des Tages von Selenis Leyva:
Honestly, six months before getting 'Orange Is the New Black,' I remember telling my manager I was done.
There are Latino people in our world who believe strongly that if you are Latino you should speak the language, you should eat the food, you should listen to the music, you should be proud. And when you don't do those things, some people will look at it as if you're neglecting who you are.
I watched 'House of Cards' in three days - and only in three days because I had other responsibilities, like my daughter. I couldn't just sit there and watch the entire season in just one sitting.
I grew up in New York where there is such a different variety of people.
I couldn't even imagine not being able to take long, hot showers or wear makeup whenever I wanted or shave my underarms. There are certain things people take for granted.
I did sketch comedy with a troupe at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
Even in times of great sadness, there are always moments where we crack up.
My friends say I make them laugh a lot, so I think that somewhere in me is a little comedic ability that comes out in the most inappropriate or unexpected moments. I did a lot of sketch comedy years ago. That's always in me.
My family was always supportive when I decided that I wanted to pursue this thing called acting.
I went to Rikers one time to do 'Third Watch,' and I remember thinking, 'Wow, this is a scary place.' We were using a section of the prison where half of it was still populated by inmates.
My favorite thing is just sitting in a makeup chair and letting makeup artists do their thing.
My grandmother was this amazing woman in the Dominican Republic who used to read tea leaves and palms. She would cure people in her neighborhood by going into her garden, plucking a couple of leaves, and brewing teas.
