It's a privilege to work as an anchor for Univision, but more important, I am amazed by how Latinos are transforming America.
The Latino population has become such a presence. We are part of the American tapestry in a very profound way, in every area you can think of, and are very significant in popular culture.
We're at a point right now in our development in this country - setting the immigration issue aside - that you can't ignore the sheer population of us in metropolitan areas all across the country, of how significant Latino-ness is in the United States.
The destiny of the Latino community is interwoven with the destiny of the United States.
California is full of Mexican culture and Mexican music.
As my family story shows, Latinos have been a blessing for USA for many generations. The future of America depends in part on the success of the Latino community, and this opportunity is just one more signifier of that.
I feel like progress will be made in the landscape of Latino influence when we get to tell those murky, real, close-to-life narratives.
I think there'll be a little more Cuban coffee in the governor's office once I'm up there.
I think the three Mexican directors - Alejandro Inarritu, Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro - gave all of us foreign, and particularly Latino, directors a big break.
Latinos are a vital but underrepresented force in this country.
