"I grew
up as an ugly duckling. They used to call me prieta
fea, because I was the only one of my family's four
girls with dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin.
Growing up I was the ugly one, because I was the odd
one."
"As soon as I read the script I knew it was pretty
special. The creator of the show asked what I thought
of the writing as a whole. I told him I had no idea
because I'd only read my part. He laughed and told me
I'd got the job. He thought my answer was completely
Gabrielle" On how she got the part as Gabrielle Solis
"I didn't really blossom until my mid teens and by
that time I had to work on my personality to make
people like me. I found it easy to make people laugh
and I was always pretty popular"
"I love being a woman. I love the sexiness we get to
exude. But the best thing about being a woman is the
power we have over men."
"I love men, I love being in love and having romantic
dates"
"I'm a fabulous date, I make sure I look good, I like
hearing what a guy has to say and I make sure the
evening is a real laugh. I like to laugh." On going
out on a date.
"I'm a late bloomer, my looks came pretty late and
success happened at the age of 30. But I'm pleased
about things not coming to me immediately because it
makes you appreciate it when you finally get it"
"I'm definitely no Bridget Jones. I don't believe in
that whole 'oh there are no decent men out there'
thing. Get real girls- there are loads of gorgeous
guys on every street corner"
"I'm totally blown away by the success of Desperate
Housewives."
"It literally did happen overnight" On her success
from desperate housewives
"That whole T-Shirt thing was just a bit of a joke. I
did it for a laugh. I never expected my picture to be
on the front pages of newspapers and magazines all
over the world. It was just something me and my
girlfriends thought was funny." On wearing the 'I'll
have your baby Brad' T-Shirt.
"I do like British guys. If I had to pick one it would
be Ewan McGregor. I met him once and he was gorgeous
even if he is a little short. He has the most amazing
charisma."
"It would be nice to go out on a date with Brad Pitt
but I'm not going to cry about it. There are plenty of
other guys out there."
"I don't agree with all the boundaries we put on
everything. Women are forever discounting men for all
sorts of silly reasons - too old, too young, wrong
haircut. Give the guy a chance and he may surprise
you. I've definitely been pleasantly surprised by my
choices and I've always had plenty of choice."
"Believe me, I would shout it from the highest
mountain. I married before when I was too young and
eloped to Vegas. This time I'd love to have an
engagement and a big wedding and do it properly." On
marrying again
"Surely there are more beautiful women in the world. I
can name 10."
