Honestly, there's four years where I'm ignorant of my culture. Every now and then, I'll see a clip of something or hear a piece of music. And I just don't have a reference. In my life, those years were very different.

At 19, I had a family. I'm from Brooklyn, that's not Manhattan. All the people I know are not connected with the business. That gives me an equilibrium.

The media can really influence the way people think-and, ultimately, how minorities are perceived. If you have a person who is a lawyer or presidential candidate on television, and you've only seen people like you portrayed as maids or gardeners that can help a young person broaden their horizons.

I am a firm believer in education and have worked very hard to tell young Latinos that they must go to college and that, if possible, they should pursue an advanced degree-be that in the arts, in law, in medicine, in business or whatever their area of interest. I am convinced that education is the great equalizer.

The great thing about series television is that it's very fluid and there are a lot of things that come into play that will effect and change things down the line. On a week-to-week basis, as the writers are looking at the dailies, certain relationships pop. And then the audience factor comes into play.

I have a strong sense of...spirituality more than anything. I miss the ritual of the Mass...It feels comfortable when I'm there, with all its contradictions ... And maybe because there's a theatricality to it, too. At its root, it's kind of...the retelling of what the foundation of the belief is, the ritual of the mass. It feels good. I feel peaceful when I'm there.

All I can do is walk through this life and my career with the integrity that I have tried to amass in the little work that I've done.

It would depend, as it does with my rear, on the situation, the character and the dynamics of the scene. But I don't think I would have much of a problem. However, I don't think my significant other would go for it. We'd have to do a lot of talking about it.

The most obvious thing that comes to mind is the loss of one's privacy. Your life becomes an open book, but I've found ways to adapt. It's tough. The price is also the sacrifices you have to make for your career. It can be all-consuming. Unfortunately, it's a very me-oriented business.

Change is very hard to effect. In America particularly, change only comes out of money. People don't wake up and say, 'Our country embraces so many cultures!' Instead, it's corporations who go 'Hey, look at that market out there!' But that's OK. You just take that and you use it. It's a ripe time to implement change. And I'm in there trying; that's all I can say.

I think for most actors, there is a tremendous need to give back to the community at large and for me, giving back to my community was a concept ingrained in me by my parents.

I'm just happy that in the whole framework of art imitates life, or maybe life should be imitating art, there is this kind of move towards inclusiveness with regards to women ascending to higher office, people of color into higher realms of office.

You have to find what makes you stable in the storm. Then, no matter what's happening round you, no matter what the hype or the publicity, you can still manage to make leaps in your work as an artist.

When we are out there selling a new picture, when did it become part of the deal that you have to sell the family? To use the juicy part of your life to get attention? I'm not blaming the reporters. It's the system.

There are no right and wrong ways to work in this business, but there are some basic common-sense practices. Work very, very hard and always be prepared; never give up; and once you get the job, give them more than they ever expected: - Shine!
