| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | My mother's Puerto Rican and my father's Russian-Jewish so we consider ourselves to be Jewricans or Puertojews. I think Puertojew sounds like a kosher bathroom, so I prefer Jewrican. |
| 2 | I'm more interested in my life than I am in my career. I don't want to not work. I do enjoy working, but not to the point where that's the only thing I focus on. |
| 3 | [on being a tough critic of her own acting] If you care about yourself and what you do, you get nervous about it. You just don't take the money and go home. |
