Gina Rodriguez Quotes

• I felt very vulnerable after ‘Sleeping with the Fishes’; I gained weight for the role. I felt a bit out of my skin in the movie, and it was hard to watch.
• I’m not messing with skiing. You can’t get this Puerto Rican on the slope. Uh-uh.
• I will play the characters with last names like Sanchez and Gonzalez until the day I die, but I also want to play the ‘Michelle Smiths.’
• I’ve been very lucky; God has done amazing things for me.
• Being an actress wasn’t realistic. I knew that I was going to have to do it in a way that would speak to my parents. So I went to NYU Tisch School of the Arts for theater, and I studied at the conservatory.
• I went to college at NYU for acting, since acting was my dream from very young. I did a lot of hip-hop courses while I was there. I helped co-write a hip-hop production for the main stage of NYU, but I never touched rap.
• What makes characters real are details, and if you’re crafting a person from scratch, you’re probably not going to pay as much attention to a question like, ‘Does this person bite their nails?’
• I was a salsa dancer for the majority of my life, from, like, 7 to 17, and did the World Salsa Congresses. I realized that I wanted to continue obviously to be a performer. But in my household, being an actor and jumping into acting is not really accepted.
• When I got out of college, I booked a movie called ‘Go for It!’ with Lionsgate, came out here, and I’ve been acting ever since – or trying, constantly trying.
• I started performing very young as a salsa dancer, and every time I was on that stage dancing, all I knew was that I wanted to speak. I wanted the music to stop, and I wanted to speak.
• I think all Latino actors want to be storytellers first. I want to be an actor first, and then I want to be Latina.
• I love telling stories that allow people to be less afraid to tell theirs.
• I grew up in Chicago, so hip-hop has always been a part of my life.
• I love relatable stories.
• I started small with commercials and print.
• I learned a lot from Ana Ortiz, who plays my sister in ‘Sleeping with the Fishes’.
• Acting is how I’ll be able to change how Latinos are viewed in media and change how little girls see and talk about themselves.
• I am not going to take a role because there’s money. It might extend my checkbook, but not my integrity.
• I grew up dancing salsa – you know, a traditional Puerto Rican dance.
• I do not devalue the role of a maid or nanny, or the stereotypical roles that some members of our family have actually done to feed our families in real life.
• With each dream accomplished, bigger ones are put in their place.
• I don’t want the Latino community to think I think the reason Latino films are not doing well is because of us. It is not fully our responsibility.
• I’ve specifically decided to say no to projects that weren’t advancing Latinos, that weren’t showing us in a positive light, roles that were gratuitous and spreading untruths.
• I can live in L.A. as a struggling artist. I cannot live in New York as a struggling artist.
• What I will not do is continue to perpetuate stereotypes. I’m the daughter of a maid; why do I have to also play a maid? My mom was a maid so I didn’t have to be a maid.
• I dream big, baby. I want to do thrillers, I want to do smart David Lynch-type mysteries.
• ‘Filly Brown’ gave me the wings to fly, but red carpets are still very uncomfortable.
• I started salsa dancing with a few different companies and started touring the country. It was fantastic, but I realized that I really wanted to talk every time we were performing. That’s a problem because when you’re dancing, if you stop to talk, that’s not really cool to the other dancers.
• I’ve learned a lot about what kind of actor I want or do not want to be while being on set. I sit back and observe how other actors treat the totem pole of set politics.
• It’s clear to me that execs need to step outside of their office and really look at life. We are in interracial relationships. We speak multiple languages. We’re multiple religions inside of that. I have Jewish ancestors. My sister converted to Judaism. I have Christians and Catholics and Buddhists in my family. I have multiracial, multiethnic relationships. We need to start casting color-blind because there is no specific anymore.
• Latinos don’t go out and support their own films, but at the same time, it’s not their responsibility.
• I think when you work really hard and you help others, God helps you get what you want.
• This industry is all about work, and just because Sundance exposed me to the world, it is my job to stay deserving in that world. The work never ends; the hustle just get harder, and you get stronger!
• Every morning, my dad would have me looking in the mirror and repeat, ‘Today is going to be a great day; I can, and I will.’
• I like to peel it and share it with friends. You can spread the love with an orange.
• I try to keep in mind that it’s a long journey. It’s not a race. It’s about staying focused, continuing to do good work, make my family and community proud; that’s all I really want to do… and pay my bills.
