I often hear things like, 'You don't look Latina enough,' and that mentality is so backwards. The fact is, I am Latina, so how are you going to tell me that I don't look Latina?

Camila Mendes

You get typecast. You have to find a niche in this business. So, the roles that I got cast in were the Latina or the Italian spitfires. The woman with a passion and the woman who didn't want to listen to anyone, did everything her own way, very self-willed.

Patricia Mauceri

I'm bicultural, and everyone sees me as a Latina, but in my head I see myself as both Latina and American.

Genesis Rodriguez

Sarah Palin is Latina. Pay-leen. She has an infant and a grandkid the same age. Latina!

George Lopez

I embrace my Latina background because I know that by doing so we will continue to break down stereotypes that may exist of Latina women.

Eve Torres

When I first came out to L.A., Hollywoods idea of a Latina was Mexican. It was almost like they had never seen or heard of an Afro-Latina before.

Lauren Velez

When I first came out to L.A., Hollywood's idea of a Latina was Mexican. It was almost like they had never seen or heard of an Afro-Latina before.

If you find yourself always playing the villain, or if you find yourself being typecast into a corner where you're not happy then that's probably rather miserable, but if I have been typecast I am quite happy about it.

James Purefoy

[Producers] promised me they wouldn't do that sort of "defining nature of my character is that Laurel is Latina [in How to Get Away with Murder] ." It has nothing to do with that. She just happens to be a Latina.

Karla Souza

I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.

Peter Sarsgaard

I am conscious about not getting typecast, but obviously I have to keep picking up great roles so that I don't get typecast.

Amy Jackson

Myy mom is the woman who inspires me the most. She's Latina. She's definitely my Latina inspiration.

Manny MUA

I was not only typecast as a Russian, but I was typecast as Yakov Smirnoff. This is understandable, and I was very happy to get the roles, but it would be nice to be in a movie where I could be someone else.

Yakov Smirnoff

When people see a Spanish last name, they have an image in their head of what the typical Latina looks like. I think it's important on television to have different representations of people. And I'm so proud of being Latina. I love it.

Kether Donohue

No Latina woman would be called 'Ms.' - that's an invention of middle-class Anglo women. Latina women are proud to be called 'Mrs.' That simply means that we have a family.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I'm so proud to be a Latina. Growing up and being Latina and growing up with my father and getting to do a lot of the Hispanic traditions, I loved it.

Nikki Bella
