Quote
1 [on having her ears pierced for the first time especially to play Cuban refugee Isabel in Fires Within (1991)] It felt very strange to have pierced ears and to feel those big earrings tugging at my earlobes and banging against my neck every time I moved. But when I was doing my initial research into the role after I decided to take it, I found out that all Cuban women have their ears pierced when they’re little girls, and most of them wear big hoop earrings a lot of the time, so it would look a little odd if I didn’t do the same. And it actually did help me get into character as Isabel, so it was definitely worth the slight pain of having them pierced in the first place.
