La La Anthony

The industry just hasn't been thinking outside the box when it comes to Latina women.

Just to be a part of anything that Queen Latifah is involved in is an honor, because she's such an amazing person and an amazing actress.

It's a common issue that you see out there, where some families aren't as accepting of what people choose to be in their life.

I want to expand what I do and definitely focus a little more in the acting, theater world.

I enjoy making people laugh and making them smile.

There's something great about life when you can do something you enjoy.

I see myself stepping more heavily into the producing world. I like having that control, and being in control so to speak, and being part of picking great material and bringing it to life.

When I go to these auditions, I feel like I have to prove myself 10 times over... acting is a challenge.

I definitely had to take a lot of direction from stylists and make up artists and hair stylists, because I'm very much more of a sweat pants and sneakers kind of girl.

I'm very forthcoming, I'm really expressive.

I have a very strong faith in God, and I have a strong family base.

You can have a passion for something, but you still have to pay the bills.

When I moved to Los Angeles to be on the radio, there was an acting school on every corner. You can't be in L.A. and not be into acting.

I love Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. You see the love, and you can see the support, and they partner on things and produce together. But she has a life, and he has a life.

I definitely don't feel like I'm what Hollywood thinks of when they think of a Latina actress at all. They can't wrap their minds around it.

That is my priority, that my son is healthy and happy. I will do whatever I can to ensure that, and my husband is the exact same way.

Being independent opens the doors to so many other things for you.

I went through that phase where I shaved the entire side of my head off - I actually love the way it looks, but it doesn't really work when you're walking into a room for an audition.

My grandfather was extremely dark and from Puerto Rico, but his brother had blond hair and blue eyes. There are so many different shades, and I think Hollywood has yet to realize that.

I'm terrified of mice or any type of rodent.

I'm not one of those people that takes the best, best care of myself. I try to do better.

There's many sides to a coin and one person can in fact do a lot of different things.

My whole family cooks and I'm in charge of setting the vibes.

My son is my best friend.

I actually speak Spanish fluently.

I hate when hair looks like it's been styled.

There's nothing like Christmas in New York.

My mom always says, 'Worry when people don't care about you.' And that's what I tell myself.

Having my name on a cosmetics line has always been a dream, one I'm excited to share.

Tailgating is going to the game, homegating is celebrating at home. So you bring in the apparel, the T-shirts, the accessories to kinda make your home feel cool.

I live for my son.

I proved to myself that I can overcome a lot of things that probably would have broken some people.

I learned that life is filled with ups and downs and it's just about how you react to them.

I'm someone that's a hard worker and takes their job seriously and gives it all they've got.

I have to be able to work and do the things I do. And I want to be able to be an example of my son.

I had to know that for me to be successful in all aspects of my life, I have to work.

When your love for your kid is at the center of everything, you can't go wrong.

There's no gift more classic and more beautiful than roses.

I think I've gotten really good at putting on lashes. I can do it with my hand while people need tweezers or something to put them on.

If you feel good about yourself on the inside, that's gonna show to people. I don't think it's all about makeup and hair and how you dress. I think it's more of an inner thing and how you feel about yourself and that's ultimately what will shine through no matter what.

I don't think there's anyone that's more beautiful than Halle Berry.

I have a kid so I like to take pictures.

I carry Caress Body Wash in Tempting Whisper to clean my hands. The scent lasts throughout the day!

There's a lot of jewelry in my bag. It's great because if a bracelet is bothering me or I want a midday change, I switch to another.

My wallet is full of change. I'm like, Why is this bag so heavy? Oh, yeah. It's the $100 in quarters!

My eyes change colors - weird!

I pray every morning and night before bed.

I'm a gambler and love slot machines.

Marriage is hard.
