It all starts with the script: it's not worth taking myself away from my family if I don't have something I'm really passionate about.
I watched some serious '80s television. 'Alice,' 'Good Times,' 'The Jeffersons,' 'Family Ties,' 'Cheers'... every night it was eat dinner, watch 'Cheers.' I was actually on 'Jeopardy' with Rebecca Lobo and Dot Richardson, and we were laughing because...
The first lesson my kids got about the ocean was to respect it. You can never turn your back on the ocean when you're dealing with tides and currents - factors beyond your control. You have to be the CEO of your family on the water. CEO stands for 'c...
I feel my family's needs are a priority. I'm not comfortable with the idea of serving the many and ignoring my family.
Everyone has a responsibility towards this larger family of man, but especially if you're privileged, that increases your responsibility.
If you walk down the street and see someone in a box, you have a choice. That person is either the other and you're fearful of them, or that person is an extension of your family. And that makes you at home in that world and not fearful. So really it...

A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home...

I am happiest when I'm sitting on my parent's couch with the fire place on and talking to my family.

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 grew up around a lot of various religions, so it's a part of my consciousness in a way. Everything from heavy Catholicism to followers of Indian spiritual masters to Unitarian universalists - all in one family. Though the family aspect was stronger...
You have to defend your honor. And your family.
I think the American Dream says that anything can happen if you work hard enough at it and are persistent, and have some ability. The sky is the limit to what you can build, and what can happen to you and your family.
