“I do have a Mexican accent, but that doesn't mean that I'm a Latin vamp.”

“'Frida' was a joy; this was delicious, I couldn't wait every day to get to the set, although I was exhausted, and have my leg get cut off or lose the baby or be in her shoes and get to play my hero and be able to go places emotionally. You know, we live for parts like this. This is a dream for an actor.”

“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.”

“They seem to be charmed by my Southern accent.”

“It's a tough accent. It's difficult for actors who are not Kiwis.”

“I don't want to lose my accent, I just want it to become smaller.”
