Quotes:
"[Men] really disgust me if they don't have a nice smile,
nice lips and nice teeth...They have too many disgusting habits
- like scratching themselves all the time. And it's really
weird how guys think that passing gas is the funniest thing
in the world. They love to do that thing in front of girls
and laugh about it."
"I didn't expect it to happen like this, wrapping one film
and flying out to do a new one the next day. But I'm fresh
enough and ambitious enough to stay up all night for the sake
of a job. I'm not gonna take it easy. I want to do so much
more when I'm getting these great opportunities."
"In every movie they want you to look as thin as you can
look. In Selena, it was the other way around: 'How can we
shoot her butt so it looks like Selena's?'"
"I was in third grade when Rapper's Delight changed
my life. But when I came home, my mother would be listening
to Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Diana Ross. I want to include
all those elements in my music."
"I can't try to be Whitney or Faith. I have something else
to offer to anybody who'll want to, you know, get down."
