coat

“I don’t drink coffee! But I drink green tea with a splash of apple cider vinegar.”

I mention Billy Madison all the time. Every time someone says, “It’s hot,” I say, “Too hot! Hini wants to be touched!”

“I love Catherine Zeta-Jones, maybe because I was obsessed with Chicago and thought it was the greatest musical ever. I liked that she was an actress who could sing and dance, and I was like, “I want to do what she does.” She also did Zorro, which was another film I loved, although she was playing Latin when she wasn’t there.”

“Always going home and spending time with my family – I want to be in Mexico for a week with my mom and sisters. When I come back, I’m ready to work and in a hurry.”

“Listen, I can’t do anything about people’s opinions and everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, so I’m going to keep doing what I love to do, and those who are for it are great, and don’t do that, I mean, I’m sorry.”

“I’m a firm believer in making things happen.”

“Living in the moment is something I struggle with. My mom is always there to congratulate me on how far I’ve come to remind me to pat myself on the back, hug me, and talk to myself in the mirror. I’m trying to change my mindset.”

“I grew up watching my classmates perform in theaters, always wanting to be a part of it because it sounded so cool. I’d be a little fan in the hallways, watching the middle school and high school students come to the show.”

“I just fell in love with the whole process of auditioning and connecting with theater people. They became my friends.”

“I went to NYU thinking, ‘I’m going to graduate and then I’m going to book something on Broadway and live in New York for the rest of my life.’ That was my life plan.”

“Life has better plans for you than you.”

“I need to go to a place where I can start from scratch and no one will judge me.”

“Not everyone can do what soap actors do. From crying in a scene to crying again to getting angry to falling down the stairs to getting into a mud fight — all kinds of crazy things you have to do in a day. . . He’s crazy!”

“They put me in this box of this soap actress doing theatre. I felt a little angry and wanted a change. I needed to go to a place where I could start from scratch and no one would judge me – I knew LA would be that.”

“The only thing I have control over is my experience and my feelings while making it and if I’m proud of it. I can’t let the stars align, or take away from me what’s happening in the world. “

“It’s nice to receive something with love that you made with so much love.”

“This job requires a lot of us… you have to feel it’s worth it.”

“I’ve had to work extremely hard throughout my career to establish my worth as a woman, especially when it comes to Scream. I felt the offer presented to me was not commensurate with the value I bring to the franchise.”

Melissa Barrera has appeared in many hit and critically acclaimed TV series and films. Hopefully, there will be more projects with her in the future.
