I've seen so many scripts, and I want to do everything. Like with kiteboarding, you have to be fearless. I'm not scared.

I'd love, love, love to do a comedy. I can't imagine being on set and being happy and cheerful. That seems so foreign.

For me, I grew up doing kiteboarding where no girls are doing it, and you had to prove yourself. You just had to know that you could do it, too. It's the mentality you had to have to make it. I work hard like anyone else.

Horror movies can be - I don't wanna say not real, but so over-the-top: you can get scared 'cos things are loud and in-your-face, but these are real emotions that I'm using.

To this day, I haven't seen 'Jaws.' Because I was always in the ocean, when I was a kid, my mom said, 'See the movies that you want to, but I'm telling you, do not ever see Jaws.'

In the Dominican Republic, my mom and I lived in this little tiny town called Cabarete, which is very poor.

When you watch a film, a huge part of it is the music and the coloring and everything that comes together to create such a unique film. So, reading the script, I had no idea what it was gonna be.

I started kite boarding when I was 13. My dad was a kite boarder, and I begged him to teach me until he finally agreed. He made me wait because it can be dangerous.

There is something so fun about scaring yourself.

There are definitely scripts I start reading, where it doesn't interest me. Maybe it'll be a good movie, but the character doesn't intrigue me.

I'd never thought of horror as being so challenging, but it is.

I have a rule now that I can only watch a movie twice. By the third time I was watching 'The Guest,' I was hating everything about it, but the first time, I loved it. The first time you watch it, you watch it as a whole. And the second time, I think you can learn a lot. By the third time, you are just picking everything apart.

I think, specifically with the horror genre, you have to make it very believable because it can come across ridiculous.

What I love about my job is challenging myself and finding weird, different roles.
