On why she posed for Playboy:

“Why do I want to do this? Because I want to. Because I grew up inspired by how beautiful the women in the magazine looked and now I have the opportunity to be that beautiful, sexy, mamasota.”

On Coachella:

“I thought that this was going to be like my consecration, but I actually feel like it’s the beginning. This is the first time in my life that I feel I’m going to see myself as the artist in the same caliber as the stage that I’m stepping on.”

“When I received the call, I felt like a huge weight fell on me…. I feel very blessed to be part of a generation that is trying to change the narrative and raise our voice for the community… I feel like it’s a show for my community, for the world, but it’s a show that’s very much for me.”

On standing up for her community:

“I don’t want to just say ‘ICE Out’ and have nothing come from it… I’m probably going to go a little harder than that. I just want to represent my community. But what I’m telling you is that, as a human being, I want that to mean more. I’m not saying that I’m not going to do it; what I’m saying is that I would do it and will do it with my soul. But I want to sit down and understand, in my head: Here’s what that meant.”

On being single:

“I’m letting go of everything. I’m single and, to be honest, I’ve always thought that my most evolutionary moments come when I’m alone. As a good Latina from a traditional family, they teach you to give yourself fully to relationships, to a point where you can even lose yourself… I think you have to work a lot on yourself so the relationship can work. You also have to do the work so that you can walk away when you recognize it’s not going to work. When I finished my last relationship, I initially felt like, Wow, I’m here again. But then I saw it as, Wow, how beautiful that I had the courage to say that I no longer wanted to be there.”

On being happy where she is:

“According to my culture, I should have kids by now. But you know what? This year has literally been like, F–k it. I don’t feel like I’m behind. I actually feel that it’s beautiful that I’m living my process, that I’m evolving, that I’m learning, that I’m not tired of experimenting, that I’m curious.”

On her Playboy cover:

“The only person I asked if I should do it or not was Sofía Vergara. I called her and told her, ‘If you tell me not to do it, I won’t.’ [She said] ‘Mijita, with that body? When you get to this age, you tell yourself, ‘F–k, why didn’t I pose that one time? I should have posed more with a thong!’ Just one thing: Don’t show your p-ssy!’ She also said, ‘This moment will have a reason. What is going to be your reason?’”
