Am I Latin? Am I American? What the hell am I? I love my culture and I'm very proud of my culture.
America Ferrera
As a child, I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important.
America Ferrera
Finding the one is not just a feeling, it's an educated guess. I feel like I chose someone to share my life with who is my friend.
America Ferrera
I am trying to be guided by my passion.

I could have easily been too afraid to say 'yes' to Chicago, because it requires so much I haven't done before. If I am a flop at singing and dancing, maybe my love for it will carry me through.

I don't think running for office is anything I'm prepared for or could even prepare myself for.
America Ferrera
I just want to be in my sweats, walk my dog, watch TV and eat pizza.

I just wanted to see every single musical I could. The very first one I saw was 'Beauty and the Beast,' the only one I could get tickets for, and then 'Les Miserables' and then 'Chicago.'

I miss Betty madly. I loved her. Whenever people talk about her, I get really nostalgic. There are parts of her still with me; I played her for four years and, of course, the lines get blurred.
America Ferrera
I realized how Latina I was, and then also, at the same time, how not Latina enough I was, because I'm born and raised in Los Angeles. I speak Spanish, but I don't speak perfect Spanish, not like a native speaker.
America Ferrera
I really hate the duties of being a celebrity, like getting dressed up for the red carpet.
America Ferrera
I struggled with being a Latino growing up in Los Angeles. I felt very American. I still do. I went to 35 bar mitzvahs before I went to a single quinceanera. I could talk all day about my culture and what it means to me.
America Ferrera
I think Hispanic women are beautiful with their curves. I'm not sure who feels that way in Hollywood. I was never told to lose 50 pounds. If they think that they just don't bother with you. You just don't get the role and you never know why. That's still better than physically harming yourself and becoming unhealthy just to star in a movie.
America Ferrera
I was an open, smiley and gregarious child. I could make friends in 30 seconds wherever I went.
America Ferrera
I was just so lucky with 'Real Women Have Curves.' At that point, I would have done an insurance commercial. I would have done anything.
America Ferrera
I was young not too long ago, and I know the last thing you want is someone preaching to you.

I work really long hours and work a lot and have done press tours and junkets, but there is nothing like a presidential campaign that I have experienced before...I think at one point we visited three different cities in one state in 12 hours. It's exhausting.
America Ferrera
I'm not going to miss wearing the braces very much.
America Ferrera
I'm okay if people don't know who I am, but if you remember my character that would be great.

I'm the first one in line to go watch "Spider-Man," but there's definitely something in me that makes me want to go to a movie and see something that makes me feel good about life.
