Eiza Gonzalez

I studied in American school, so yes, I grew up speaking English and Spanish. Obviously, Spanish is my first language.

I speak Italian and a little bit of French. I moved to Trento, Italy, when I was around 10 to learn Italian. I have family there. I\'m trying to restart my French. And then I want to get into Mandarin.

I can have an accent and not have an accent, so it\'s really cool. I can play with it. I can be very Sofia Vergara, too, so it\'s really cool.

When I was a girl, there wasn\'t anything in Spanish in the movies until you saw it on DVD.

I\'m happy and I\'m focused on my work... it\'s incredible to be able to work with 20th Century Fox and to keep opening doors for Mexicans and Latins in the United States.

I\'m born and raised in Mexico. I only spent eight months in the States, but definitely English is a really big part of my life, and I love it. Thank God my mom put me in American school because I\'m able to be working in the States, and it opens a lot more doors being half and not being only one. It\'s cool because I get to turn it on and off.

My last audition for \'Baby Driver,\' I had to meet with Jon Hamm and go through the scenes. I was a bit nervous: \'What if Jon Hamm dislikes me? This is the end.\' I also watched \'Mad Men\' religiously, so that didn\'t help with my nerves.

When my father passed away, I learned to be unattached to physical things. At a very young age, I was able to roam the world and be emotionally connected but physically disconnected. I\'ll get homesick in that I miss my mom. My grounding rock is her and my family.

I\'m a perfectionist, which is bad at times but very good at other times.

I love being Latina. I love our values, the way we\'re so in touch with others, our dark humor, how fun we are, how relaxed we are. I love how hard working, independent, and ambitious we are.
