00:00It's like the best time in my career when they told me my career in Hollywood would die mid-30s
00:07because nobody wants... First of all, they told me a Mexican's never going to make it, you know,
00:11because at the time, for the new generations, it was impossible for a Mexican to have a leading
00:18role in Hollywood. And it was like, it was not real. See, it was like this strange reality that
00:25now it's become a reality, a normality, but not at the time. And I think it's great.
00:33I'm proud of it. I want to shout it to the world because I was told so many times it
00:39couldn't
00:39happen. And I almost believed it, but I didn't. I fought it. I fought and I won. And I want
00:50other women to realize that, that because even in your thirties, you feel the pressure
00:56in your forties, you feel the pressure and late blooming. It's a beautiful thing.
