Maria Canals Barrera

I used to watch my Cuban mother getting ready singing 'Dos Gardenias,' so to me fashion has always been fun.

I'm proud to be a hard working actress; it's what I've always loved to do and I'm so happy and proud to still be doing it.

I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be in show business!

I really like Jeff Lewis and 'Flipping Out' and 'Interior Therapy.' I don't know why I'm obsessed with American real estate and renovation.

I like to get home, flop on the couch, and watch Sky Sports News. I'm just your average bloke.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.
