In Latin America, women are supposed to be voluptuous. They don't believe that you have to be skinny to be attractive.
I'm a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent - but I had blonde hair. It was ignorance: they thought every Latin person looks like Salma Hayek.
I love dancing to Latin music, so I have a trainer who dances with me for an hour three times a week.
Latin women are very comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality. We aren't afraid to show that off a little bit more.
Latin guys dance. American guys don't dance. That's a big difference.
I never thought I would get such a perfect role in 'Modern Family.' A lot of TV shows now are looking for more Latin women.
