I have a lot of respect for the musical theater plays.
I just got tired of waiting for things to happen through other people when so many other people are taking chances on following their dreams.
My favorite thing about motherhood is the outpouring of love that is non-judgmental and beautiful. My daughter just makes me happy, and she motivates me to be a kid again.
I’ve always loved Jennifer Lopez, and I think, as an entertainer, she is a great example of a strong woman that is also very levelheaded and cool and produces her own content.
When I think of the definition of cool and when I look at people, John Travolta is really the definition of cool because, not only is he great in all his movies, but, as a person, he’s just really cool.
My advice to someone to follow in my footsteps is to have patience. I’ve been doing this for twelve years.
Growing up, I had an internal struggle with my body because I was really chubby. My sisters were younger, and they were all skinny and all cute. As a teen, I definitely had, like, an extra 30 pounds of weight.
I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.
That’s my fun time so, to me, doing my homework, studying on what I do, watching the movies, listening to music, all that inspires me so I focus a lot on that and practice.
I’m doing everything in my power to be a great mother. I wish I could be with her throughout the day, because I’m always working, but I make sure that whether it’s the morning or nighttime, I make it extra special.
Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.
I had actually been on tour in Japan and I had my own world tour that I was doing. I was used to doing a show for an hour, so I was always learning choreography.
I enjoy my fun time and everything like that but I love what I do.
I would just love to do something where I’d have to train and work really hard and do one of those types of action movies, which a lot of women are doing now.
My biggest lesson I’ve learned about love is to keep on loving. Love is love it’s amazing. It’s fine. It hurts. It’s probably one of the best experiences in life.
If there’s an inkling of abuse, I have to move on. Even jealousy – seems cute it first, but if they’re getting in my head, it’s not right for me. It’s okay to be alone. It’s okay to be single. The right thing will come along.
My mom and I always had a great bond. It was always a natural friendship bond since early on. My mom was 18 when she had me.
At the end of the day, I’m Violet’s mom, and I want the best for her.
Violet speaks Spanish and understands it. She loves Cuban food! My mom is very good at teaching her about our culture, whether it be the food or Spanish or explaining to her that she’s Cuban.
I’m happy that I took time off to become a mom and raise my daughter properly and build a bond between the two of us.
My mom was a cheerleader and had me as a teenager. I remember her giving me some pom-poms and teaching me how to do some splits when I was 3 or 4.
I’ve been a fan of ‘Rocky Horror’… my mom let me see it at a really early age.
As a mom, that’s at the forefront of everything in my mind, so I’m always trying to balance, whether it’s bringing Violet to work or, the second I am done working, getting home to her.
My mom has gone out of her way in her personal life. She’s been with me on the road. She’s had to deal with people giving her the ‘that’s the mom’ and arguing. Just little things as a businesswoman.
I like a family guy. He must be fun, must like to go out, and has to respect his mom… my family is very important, so it should be likewise for him.
From singing to acting to songwriting to mom to fashion designer! It’s been quite an evolution.
I’ve always felt a certain guilt to have them labeled as ‘Christina’s sisters’ or, ‘That’s Christina’s mom’ but them looking for the respect to be named Elizabeth and Danielle and Carmen.
When I go home, I still have to clean my room; I still have to do the dishes. We have somebody come every now and then to do that stuff, but my mom still makes me clean before she comes.
I know that my dad not being in my life made a huge impact on me.
