I'm proud of my background, so I hope there will be more roles where Hispanics are being portrayed.

In some cases, the casting directors have casted blindly and have not looked into my ethnic background.

Like they say, you can learn more from a guide in one day than you can in three months fishing alone.

Right now, I'd like to just continue on a series where I am doing good work with a balance of comedy and drama. That and do occasional features and movies.

It used to bother me being portrayed as this bitchy person, but now I feel that the public understands me better than some writer. There are people who know who I really am, and that's good enough for me.

I'm slowly feeling more Chinese and feel I should be more proud of being Chinese and appreciate where I've come from.
