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.

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.
