On how the success of Jane the Virgin took her by surprise: "It's crazy because when I read that script, I was like: This is special. There's something very special here. I knew the challenges we had as a majority Latino cast. I knew what kind of stigma that would bring to the table, and then, not to mention the synopsis of the show was heightened, to say the least. But I knew that there was heart to it – it had a pulse. It was definitely changing the way you viewed America, which is what I've always wanted to do with my art was to change the perception of Latinos. I grew up in Chicago, I mean, I'm American, and I get to walk around with this beautiful shade of culture that I carry on my back, that I walk everywhere with – I can't make it go away and I don't want it to go away. That being said, I want to change the ideas that we have that are viewed by the media because, shoot, television is a receptor for what reality is. It's a reflection of what the U.S. holds, so I knew Jane held that and I knew Jane had something that we hadn't seen before."
