• The song "This Is Not Surreal," was inspired by a painter I love, Frida Kahlo. She really did suffer for her art. She speaks to me. She was brutally honest in her work. At that time in fine art, you really didn't see many female artists expressing that. She was such a strong female presence, and I really look up to her. She had a lot of physical pain.

• People ask me: "Do I consider myself to be a Latino writer?" "What does it mean to be Latino?"

• When I'm looking for a strong female character, or a strong character at all, I'm looking for a character that has a purpose in that story, that has an interior life of some sort. They don't have to be physically strong; they don't have to be morally strong or ethically strong, because men and women come in a huge variety of all of those things. Emotionally, ethically - I'm less concerned with that. I just don't want them to be props. That's the only thing that offends me.

• I want to set the example my mother set for me: a strong female role model who faces challenges takes risks and conquers fears.

More than anything it is my responsibility to instill in my daughters the knowledge that they can have a family and everything else too.
