Get to Know Golden Globe Winner Gina Rodriguez

Gina recorded some songs for an album that hasn't yet been released. "It was a beautiful discovery, and it was an art form I had never owned before. I was able to dabble in it, and now I feel a little more confident. And hopefully however life turns out, I'll have more opportunities to do that."

It goes beyond Devious Maids, though. In the same interview, Gina, who is Puerto Rican, said there's a larger problem with Hollywood's portrayal of the Latino community.

"We all are proud of where we come from, no matter what religion or culture we're in. We all love our family; we all love our tradition. That pride does not go anywhere. But do we wear a flag on our shoulder? No. Are we always speaking Spanish and pregnant? No. That is so very far few and between, and that goes across the board. There is nobody exempt of going through hardships or going through success. What we get incorrect in this industry is that the Latino story is different than any other story. Or the black story is any different than any other story. We don't want to only be limited to our world, or our skin color. We want to transcend. We want to be invited to the same party as everybody else."

Just look at those cuties.

During her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, Gina shared an adorable anecdote about her father and the phrase, "I can, and I will." Even sweeter, it's something she's been saying all her life. She posted this on Instagram with the following caption:

"When I was a young girl my father would have me look in the mirror, straight in my eyes and say 'Today is going to be a great day, I can and I will' 15 years later I still say it. Together, we can and we will. Help those around you. Be kind, compassionate and generous. We don't live in this world alone. We are the successful product of the hard work of all the beautiful people around us including ourselves."
