Violet is my everything. She's the sweetest little girl in the whole world. She inspires me. I'm glad that we have such a close relationship because she makes me laugh and shows me how great life can be every day.
I'm all about 'molde de arroz con picadillo'.
I like doing arts and crafts, so I would probably go to one of those fun little ceramic places and go paint some plates and do something fun like that.
Once upon a time, the homemaker was just Mom, but now we've evolved and come to a place where we're celebrating grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads - all the people that keep it safe and clean for our kids - and the overall health for ourselves so we can continue to function and do the variety of things we all do.
I'm not too hard on myself about dieting and exercise. Some stars are a little too bony for me. What happened to the booty?
With my first single, 'AM to PM,' I was just this cute 18-year-old. But 'cute' didn't get me older roles, and 'cute' wasn't selling records. I wanted people to see that I'd grown up, so I did 'Dip It Low.'
'Dip it Low' is pretty highly requested for me. I get that a lot.
I felt like a dork growing up so this is shocking.
I like a family guy. He must be fun, must like to go out, and has to respect his mom... my family is very important, so it should be likewise for him.
From singing to acting to songwriting to mom to fashion designer! It's been quite an evolution.
It takes a lot of work to be a great mother, a great daughter, and a great friend. All those things take effort, and I think, after having my daughter, she opened up this fearlessness within me, and I'm setting an example for her.
I would love to do some kind of mystery movie, or an action flick, something with that combination.
As a mom, that's at the forefront of everything in my mind, so I'm always trying to balance, whether it's bringing Violet to work or, the second I am done working, getting home to her.
I enjoy my fun time and everything like that but I love what I do.
That's my fun time so, to me, doing my homework, studying on what I do, watching the movies, listening to music, all that inspires me so I focus a lot on that and practice.
I make a great lasagna. I also like making piccadillo. It's a Cuban dish with ground beef, tomato sauce, garlic and olives served over rice, with plantains. My ex-husband and all my boyfriends love it.
F. Gary Gray, I think, is one of the best directors I've ever worked with in my life, and I'd love to work with him again.
I am not greedy, so I would gladly give a song to someone else to sing if it makes more sense.
I've always loved Jennifer Lopez, and I think, as an entertainer, she is a great example of a strong woman that is also very levelheaded and cool and produces her own content.
A great script might come my way, and I could be in the middle of music. So, it's a huge choice that I have to make - if I'm going to go do a movie or if I'm going to turn it down - because it could be an opportunity that could send my career through the roof, and you never know.
