Kate del Castillo

“If you're black, if you're gay, if you're Latin - we're all the same. We're all the same, and we all want the same: We want to be happy.”

“When not working, I use a lot of treatments; from ancient casero - honey, avocado, stuff like that - other times, I buy ones you leave on for a few minutes. I don't blow dry my hair ever unless for work; I'd rather go for the natural look.”

“I'm interested in seeking projects no matter where, no matter if it is in the United States, whether in Chile, whether in Venezuela.”

“I will always be an actress. I couldn't see myself without acting. But I'd love to direct and keep writing. I don't think one has to be in place of the other.”

“I started in movies in Mexico and started doing telenovelas in Mexico. 'American Family' was the first thing I did in English.”

“I am a leader in my own world. That's enough for me.”

“For me, I never take a job thinking it's going to grab ratings or that it's even going to be a success. I don't. I just take the job because I love the character. Or I love the script. Maybe I love the director. But whatever I do, I never think about how it will do. That is not in my hands.”

“I give 110% while I am working. I know I do, because I have been doing this since I was nine. This is a way of life for me. So whether it be successful or not is not in my hands. I still do my job, the best I can.”

“In terms of relationships, I've had two failures, although I don't like to call them failures; they are self learning, and I cannot say I regret any of my relationships. I've always said that I am a much loved woman.”

“I don't care where I have to go for work. I just care that it's a good project. That's what I want.”

“I like men who are intelligent and sensitive.”

“I've always wanted my own fragrance; Avon pairs with the way I think: what they do and represent, what they do for women, and the good causes such as domestic violence, and breast cancer.”

“I'm always trying to push for women's rights.”

“I like challenges, I like that fear you feel for something new, and with a new director, I think it's very important to always support new projects.”

“My job is to create myself a career that I can go to sleep satisfied with what I'm doing.”

“I have been very fortunate in my life. I think I have an angel that is always with me. Good projects always come to me.”

“First, I eat healthy; it comes from the inside out. If you eat right, your skin, hair, nails will look good. The same if you have negative thoughts - they can give you a bad look, too; we reflect what we eat and think. We also taste and smell what we eat. Being happy and doing what I love really reflects.”

“I do not see myself, I never make plans, I never set goals, and I never do that kind of stuff; I don't like to futurize, I barely know what I will do tomorrow, and because there is a working plan here, I've never futurized because life always surprises me with things even better.”

“I love drama. Drama is, like, my thing. I want a movie that will move something inside me, that's going to shift something and keep me thinking.”

“Unfortunately we - and I'm speaking not for Latin America but for Mexico because that's where I come from - we still, I think, are a little bit macho. Not that we only live in a macho world, but we also think as a macho world; even the women, you know? The women in Mexico, because that's the way we were raised.”
