I grew up with very little. I remember vividly using buckets of water to shower.

'The Sopranos' was a very East Coast show; 'Heroes' is more organically global.

My character on 'The Sopranos' was specific to being a single mother and being from Jersey. And being part of that season finale... wow. That show is always going to be world-renowned and iconic.

Growing up the way that I did - I grew up with a lot of cousins - you just have this imagination, and I love going and telling different stories. I'm a clown.

The love of my life found me! That's how he would say it, anyway, since he claims he was attracted to my energy before I even turned around.

I love playing Rosie on 'Devious Maids,' and I think that if Rosie would have an NFL team to root for, she would also be a Cleveland Browns fan.

I think, a lot of times, when you're a first-time mom, you just want to be so careful, and you overanalyze things sometimes. But I think your first instinct as a mother is always right.

My parents moved to the states when I was 6, so I was raised by my grandma in the Dominican Republic and didn't see them again until I was 10.

I personally like sitcom TV to be able to portray characters that I can relate to.

I got to work with Sarah Michelle Gellar, and that's the thing that you dream of.
