Tia Texada: My parents knew, from the time I was little, that acting is what I wanted to do. I became really creative, and then I knew, and my whole family knew that I'd be very creative. When I was about to give up, they were always there to say, 'don't give up. You gotta do what you've gotta do.' I was so fortunate because my parents were so supportive. I think they wanted me to go to college. I tried.
(Referring to the few roles that are available for Latinas) Tia Texada: usually go to Jennifer, Salma, or Penelope. Box office is huge. If a role comes up, they're going to want Jennifer because she has great box office appeal. These are things that I'm learning."
(Referring to her character's personality on Third Watch) Tia Texada: People tell me: That doesn't even look like you! That's the way it should be. Most of the parts I play don't even look like me. I love it. That means I'm doing my job.
(Answer to when asked what she wanted to be when she was young) Tia Texada: I either wanted to be a nun, or a hula dancer. Those are the extremes I'd go to. So, I'd practice my hula, and say my prayers.
