You'll never see me at the launch of the new PlayStation or some club. For me, the fun stuff is being able to get my mom tickets to 'Dancing With the Stars' - she loves Mario Lopez.

When my mother was born on 14...

When my mother was born on 14 April, he named her after a Latin American holiday, the Day of Americas, that nobody knew about. My due date also happened to be 14 April.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

The name America has definite...

The name America has definitely grown on me. I wish there was a big patriotic story behind it, but the truth is that my grandfather was a librarian who knew all sorts of random facts.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

When you finish a series like...

When you finish a series like 'Ugly Betty,' there are so many voices around you telling you what you should be doing next and what would be good for your future, sometimes you can't hear yourself. I've gotten pretty good at tuning everyone else out. Now it's just me; what pleases me creatively.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

What I would say is that vows...

What I would say is that vows and rings don't change anything: the challenges are the same. Every day is just a conscious commitment to making the next day better.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

To me, the tragedy about this...

To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

I've never been speed dating!...

I've never been speed dating! I sort of wish I had, just for the experience of it.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

I work really long hours and ...

I work really long hours and work a lot and have done press tours and junkets, but there is nothing like a presidential campaign that I have experienced before... I think at one point we visited three different cities in one state in 12 hours. It's exhausting.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

There's not really a choice a...

There's not really a choice about, am I going to pursue a typical career? Because I'm not the typical standard, so that's not even an option.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

I remember being a kid, and i...

I remember being a kid, and if you had to pee, well, you had to hold it until the commercial break. Then you rushed, and hopefully, if you're going to the kitchen for a snack, you'll be back before so you don't miss a line. If your sister sneezed or was talking over a line, there was no way of knowing what that line was or what the joke was.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

I struggled with being a Lati...

I struggled with being a Latino growing up in Los Angeles. I felt very American. I still do. I went to 35 bar mitzvahs before I went to a single quinceanera. I could talk all day about my culture and what it means to me.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

As a child, I didn't know wha...

As a child, I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

Nowadays I'd describe myself ...

Nowadays I'd describe myself as earnest, terribly earnest. I'm the person who wants everybody in the room to feel important and happy.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

I feel like my convictions an...

I feel like my convictions and my passions come from my very personal experience and the life that I've led. I feel the very naturally tendency to stand up for and use my voice for the things that I know about and the things that I feel passionate about.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

I was young not too long ago,...

I was young not too long ago, and I know the last thing you want is someone preaching to you.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

I think Hispanic women are be...

I think Hispanic women are beautiful with their curves. I'm not sure who feels that way in Hollywood. I was never told to lose 50 pounds. If they think that they just don't bother with you. You just don't get the role and you never know why. That's still better than physically harming yourself and becoming unhealthy just to star in a movie.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

I have a lot of trouble under...

I have a lot of trouble understanding how people see me as a celebrity. I work 14 hours a day, and then I just want to talk to my family, see the people I love, pet my dog, and go to bed. I'm not looking to be best friends with or emulate a celebrity.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

I realized how Latina I was, ...

I realized how Latina I was, and then also, at the same time, how not Latina enough I was, because I'm born and raised in Los Angeles. I speak Spanish, but I don't speak perfect Spanish, not like a native speaker.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

The first time I landed in Ne...

The first time I landed in New York and got a cab to my hotel, I was completely struck by it: a feeling of life and chaos, 24 hours around the clock, just like in London. And whatever your problem is, it's insignificant. You're just a small part of something very big.

America Ferrera 69 quotes

What's kind of wonderful abou...

What's kind of wonderful about being the voice in an animated film is you're a small part of an enormous production. And in a way, you get to remain a little bit objective.
