At one point in her interview for the issue, the “Second Act” star opened up about how things weren’t always easy in her career, but noted that she doesn’t like to dwell on the negative.
“Because I was Latin, and I was a woman, and I was Puerto Rican, and they were not giving me the same pass that they gave everybody else at certain times,” the “Jenny From The Block” shared. “It’s hard to remember specifics. I wish I could. But honestly, I don’t like to harp on the negative or feel sorry for myself.”

“You know, it, it just is what it is,” she added. “There were moments in my life where it got to me more. Where it kind of took me down for a second. But it never took me down for very long. The energy was always in just getting better, doing more growing, and driving myself. To be better, all the time. And creating more opportunities for myself. Just, be resilient. They’ll give up.”
