The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Karla Souza
- The patriarchal society has made women believe, first of all, you’re only valid and valuable when you’re young.
- I’ve been transformed by stories, and I think that storytelling is definitely sacred. I take it very seriously because my life has been changed, whether it was a movie, a play, a piece of writing, poetry, a painting.
- When we see society telling women that they have a certain time, that they make women compete with each other, the older generation competing with the younger generation. They’ve made us believe that there’s not enough men out there for us or that we’re only hired because of our looks and not because of our abilities.
- Family is something that I grew up with, and the Mexican culture has a lot of, you know – Sunday is the day you spend with your family, and you have 40 to 50 people at your house, the uncles and the cousins, and I grew up with that.
- I also have to be careful of what it says about women. I get a lot of scripts that only talk about women’s appearances and what they look like. I think we’re tired of having to meet this standard and not being asked what our talents or abilities are.
- Until they hired a Latina to write for Laurel [in How to Get Away with Murder], I was scared that she was going to fall into stereotypes.
- Something I was adamant about was that the movie [Everybody Lovess Somebody] wouldn’t end with, oh, marriage saved [the main character]. They’re married and she’s OK. I was very pushing on having the ending be that she made an inner growth of healing so that she can then have the ability and the space to love and be loved by someone else, and that love is open-ended and doesn’t mean they’re going to get married tomorrow and all her problems are solved.
- What I do feel with the different scripts that they give me where I feel like this is done for one of those reasons, I share my point of view. I don’t just say, “No, thank you.” I say, “I feel that this represents Latinos in a wrong way, in a bad way.”
- Mexican food is one of the best culinary experiences that people can have.
- Sadly – and I think this is why it’s so important that we do this more – I don’t have that guiding light. You know, “Oh, that Sleepless in Seattle bilingual something,” like, it doesn’t exist. I don’t have it in my memory, and that’s why I thought it was important to make it.
