You can make films in a lot of countries, but they don't have very wide releases.
— Thalia
There's nothing more important than the health of our babies.
I'm a lot of things at once. I want my audience to choose the side they like most about me.
I eat like seven men together.
Friendship is something that is cultivated.
My mother, Yolanda, was a little girl who never grew up, and sometimes we would laugh, and I would say things like, 'Okay, so now it looks like I am your mother and you are my daughter,' to which she would reply, 'Well, yes. Handle it and pamper me.'
I'm Thalia on my own.
Kids just want to have one song. They don't care about a body of work; they don't even care about a whole album - they just want whatever's hot right now. They download that song, and that's it.
As a singer, it's basic to preserve what I like to do, which is music, and also to remember my cradlesongs in Spanish.
I heard that I have three ribs, that I have more surgeries than Cher - whatever they say, they say; I know who I am.
Family matters should be that and stay in the family.
There are stereotypes - it's like an invisible line, but somehow you have to find the energy to be strong, to be super-confident, no matter if you are in front of the president of the U.S. or anyone else.
This is the fantasy of every woman - to hold at our feet servile and tame slaves, like in Roman times. And the worse we treat them, the more passionate they become.
I'm more relaxed. I know I have difficulties with some verbs. But if they get me, they get me. And if they don't understand me, they don't understand me.
I think my life in general, like that of any human being, has highs and lows, has moments of great light and moments of great darkness.
Hollywood movies are seen throughout the world.
A lot of singers find a musical genre people like and stick with it. That's being a conformist. I sing ballads, rock, salsa, rap.
You are the only one who can create an incredible world around you, or destroy yourself.
I want to reach everybody, from the little girls who are 3 years old, to the grandmother who watches my soap, to a young man in love.
Since I was 9 years old, I have been working, hustling to find my own projects - from telenovelas to record deals, etc. etc. Way before I met my husband.
Since I was a little girl, I have witnessed the strength and courage that energized my mother, who left every sorrow and pain in the past, who would work unyieldingly to obtain her goals, who was the great warrior from whom I learned all the values that are today fundamental pillars of my every day.
I think it keeps your brain moving faster, singing in another language.
Everything is so fast now, everything is so disposable now, there's no time to build up a career like we used to have in the past.
My little boy loves mambo, and my daughter, besides Justin Bieber, likes bachata - in our house, we're always singing.
The darkest experiences in a human being's life allow that person to either go deeper and stay depressed or get the strength to stand up stronger than ever, and that's my case.
I don't smoke, drink. I exercise, drink lots of water, eat well, don't sun. Me cuido. There's a lot of things that I want to do.
I am an industry.
Everybody has their own story; everybody has their own journey.
I know I have difficulties with some verbs. But if they get me, they get me. And if they don't understand me, they don't understand me.
I was thrilled to play a role on 'Dora the Explorer,' a show that has touched the lives of many children around the world, including my own child. Dora is such an iconic and important Latina heroine, and I'm proud to now be a part of the show's ever-growing legacy.
I came from a middle-class family in Mexico, from a household full of women, in a country that is very machista.
I've learned that to survive, you need a positive state of mind.
I'm a chava, a young one.
In 'Growing Stronger,' I expose my most painful moments and open my heart, thoughts and person, so that my experiences can inspire alleviation, consolation and decisiveness.
'Growing Stronger' emerged from a need to relate my life experiences as well as my constant struggle to prevail each day, and as a reminder to myself of the importance of never giving up.
I've always been singing, and acting was just something that happened.
My idea is to bring out the inner child that my generation has inside, which does not go to sleep because of so much angst over the day-to-day routine. With so much going on, you start tuning out emotions and surprises.
My idols are Oprah and Martha. From nothing, they built industries.
I've been starting in new places year after year after year. It's just like when I went to Greece or the Philippines. I love when people think I'm a new artist. It's a chance to start over.
Having children is a huge responsibility, and I just don't want to hand them off to a nanny or my mom to take care of them.
I love to know that in all parts of the world, people want me. I need the attention.
People were very passionate and over the top about showing me their love and affection, and they memorized my songs in Spanish.
There's some anxiety the 30 minutes before the show starts. But once you step on stage and face the people, everything goes away, and you have fun and enjoy the audience.
