As you know, Hurricane Sandy has affected thousands of families, leaving them without electricity, without household goods and, in the worst cases, without a home.

In giving to the March of Dimes, my fans can help support vital research and programs to help babies and their families.

I came from a middle-class family in Mexico, from a household full of women, in a country that is very machista.

Family matters should be that and stay in the family.

When my daughter Sabrina was 2 years old, the pediatrician told me it was time she quit using a pacifier because that could make her teeth crooked and even cause infections in her ears.

I'm busy all the time.

This is the fantasy of every woman - to hold at our feet servile and tame slaves, like in Roman times. And the worse we treat them, the more passionate they become.

I was thrilled to play a role on 'Dora the Explorer,' a show that has touched the lives of many children around the world, including my own child. Dora is such an iconic and important Latina heroine, and I'm proud to now be a part of the show's ever-growing legacy.

Kids just want to have one song. They don't care about a body of work; they don't even care about a whole album - they just want whatever's hot right now. They download that song, and that's it.

Having children is a huge responsibility, and I just don't want to hand them off to a nanny or my mom to take care of them.
