Sofia Vergara quotes:

Sometimes it can be bad to have too much family. Everybody gets involved in your problems, giving their opinion, gossiping, and making drama. But when bad things happen, they will be there to support you.

I never thought I would get such a perfect role in 'Modern Family.' A lot of TV shows now are looking for more Latin women.

I'm fearless, I don't complain. Even when horrible things happen to me, I go on.

Well, in Colombia everybody's very voluptuous, and you're supposed to be. You don't want to be skinny when all of your cousins are mermaids. You grow up thinking that's how beauty is.

I guess at the end of the day, all women like to be appreciated and treated with respect and kindness.

I'm a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent, but I had blonde hair. It was ignorance: they thought every Latin person looks like Salma Hayek.

You know, I was the class clown in Catholic school, but I never thought I would make a living out of it!

I left Colombia because Univision brought me to the United States.

Latin women are very comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality. We aren't afraid to show that off a little bit more.

Yes, I'm blonde. When I started as an actor, because of the accent and my body and my personality, it was not what the stereotype of the Latina woman in Hollywood is, so they didn't know where to put me. The blond hair wasn't matching. The moment I put my hair dark, it was better for my work.

I hate to work out. I get in a bad mood when I have to do it!

When I travel abroad, because I'm Columbian, I'm always one that they check twice and security and I'm the one that they open my bag and the one they pull to the side to check the visa.

I love jewelry - rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, you name it.

Listen, I didn't know how to make coffee when I came to the United States. Because in Colombia the maids do it.

L. A. is crazy. The women all look the same now. That thing with the cheeks. Like Madonna. Who do they think they're fooling? It doesn't make them look young. You end up looking like a freak.

In my own life, I have no problems letting out a good scream.

Confident people have a way of carrying themselves that makes others more attracted to them.

I love heels, I'm telling you. When I walk in flats, I get knee pain.

I understand English; I read and write English perfectly, but the accent won't go away.

I love dancing to Latin music, so I have a trainer who dances with me for an hour three times a week.

I've never gone out with a guy who is older than me by more than a couple years. Usually it's my age, a little bit older, or even a little bit younger. But not a 15- or 20-year difference.

I don't want plastic surgery or fillers or Botox.

If you're asking if my breasts are natural, yes, this is how I've looked since I was 13 years old.

I always tried to do the best for my kid.

I didn't want to be an actress. I wanted to be a dentist, but you never know what life will bring you.

Beauty is really all about confidence. If you feel beautiful, then you are beautiful.

I like comedy. I would love to do comedy for a long time.

Ive been very lucky that Ive never had cellulite. My body was always firm.

I've always been pretty confident. I grew up in a family of strong women, so I was always taught to be proud of who I am, the way I am.

It has to be a very specific role for me because of my accent. I can't complain; I've been working since I got to LA. But it is hard. I have no training as an actress so I try whatever I do like school, because I'm learning.

If a Latina falls in love with someone who is insecure, it can be a nightmare.

If I walk outside without lipstick, I feel naked.

When you have a kid, you have to be more mature.

I don't think God cares if I wear nail polish or not. I don't think that's a deal breaker for him.

I can turn around and scream and get angry, but I turn around and I forget about it.

When I get ready for an event, I always look at myself in the mirror and say, 'I look like a transvestite,' I love it.

I think that would be ungrateful if I were upset because I'm seen as attractive or sexy. That's opened so many doors for me in my life.

In Latin America, women are supposed to be voluptuous. They don't believe that you have to be skinny to be attractive.

I like business, and the truth is I save way more than I spend. I invest. I plan for the future. I have a special eye for opportunities and work harder than anyone might expect.

I still haven't played a leading role in cinema or in TV, and that's something that I long for.

My problem is desserts. I am obsessed with desserts.

I guess I am going to think about freezing my eggs.

I always heard that immigrants had a really hard life when they came to America.

I don't complain.

Oh yes, things get me mad. But the thing is, I get mad, and then I turn around and I forget.

I think I'm going to be stereotyped forever, but I'm not scared of being stereotyped.

People shouldn't stay married because of the kids. That's torture for everyone.

Latin guys dance. American guys don't dance. That's a big difference.

Accents are funny. It sets me apart from the other girls doing comedy. It gives me more?how do you say??pop-oo-laaarrrity.

Confidence is sexy! I'm comfortable with my body and not afraid to show it off

I do think it was fantastic to have a kid young. My friends now are all panicking if they haven't found somebody to have kids with. It was never like that for me because I already had the kid!

I just don't want to give them my name and say, 'Do whatever you want.' I am trying to create my brand.

I know [my breasts] have opened doors for me, let's be real,

I like TV, I feel comfortable there and I'm willing to take every opportunity that's offered to me.

I use Spanish dancing as a way to exercise. I've done that for my whole life.

I went to a school run by Catholic nuns. They were really strict.

I'm happy with what I've achieved.

I'm obsessed with food!

Listen, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm Colombian.

My boobs are, like, huge, my whole life, buying a bra was a nightmare. What I used to do when I moved to L.A., I found places like Frederick's of Hollywood that make bras for [strippers].

My father told me that if I ever did anything artistic, I was going to look like a hooker. I told him, 'With these huge boobs that I inherited from your mother, I already look like a hooker!'

Never take no personally. Sometimes people tell you no for a reason that has nothing to do with you. You must keep going.

No one can be a sex kitten every day, and anyone who tells you that is lying.

Not everybody's confident their whole life.

The mother is the one who is going to help you in the long run! You must make her your friend. It matters what she thinks.

When they tell you that you have cancer, you panic.

You are a woman so dress like a woman. Be proud. Be sexy
