While I was growing up, all the boys used to be my buddies. I never got that special kind of attention from them, and I was the tomboy around. Although I've become an actress today, I still have those traits.

I never even wanted to be an actress. I studied mass communication and wanted to study law in Newcastle, for which I even got a scholarship. But by then, I had started modelling. So, I took a year off to decide what to do. But once you are used to working, it's difficult to get back to studies.

I still don't know what genre I fit into. I want to try my hand at different things and find out what I am best at. I want to discover myself as an actress.

If a woman goes out with different men on different days, women only will question her character and call her all sort of names.

I have really fond memories of Texas. By the time I was eight, we started to go back to Chile very regularly, and many family members came to visit us because we couldn't go visit them.

My poor kids have accepted that being dropped off late to birthday parties, practices, and yes, school, is just part of the large family package.

For me, the one relationship in my life that I cherish the most has to be the one I share with my parents, especially my mother.

Family love is messy, clinging, and of an annoying and repetitive pattern, like bad wallpaper.
