There were times when I'd go, 'This outfit
would look so badass with stilettos.' You wanted those 4-inch heels,
those wrappy, strappy, show-off-your pedicure shoes, but you couldn't do

just hanging out with the dude. But the next thing you know, you're
kicking the dude's rear, so you had to make sure you had the right shoes
on.
I didn't realize it The Mask was a fairly
large film that I was a part of. Halfway through I was going, 'Is there

allowed.
One thing I realized from Julia which I knew
before, but was made very clear - is that when you're the star of the

Women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our

happens to you and fight off that danger of losing that, then you should
vote.
My Latin roots are very strong. All my life,
because I'm blonde and blue-eyed, people who aren't Hispanic can't
believe I am. And people who are Hispanic always think I'm not, because
I don't look like them. Being Latin is part of who I am and I bring that
part to every role.
What we women need to do, instead of
worrying about what we don't have, is just love what we do have.
Toronto has such a nice balance as far as
the films they show there. They kind of give an opportunity to
