Julie Gonzalo

(On the movie she starred in 'Christmas with the Kranks') Julie: This was the best Christmas present that you could give me. I cannot ask for more. This film was great for me and what happens from now on it will be good.

(On celebrating Christmas in 2004) Julie: My family live in Miami but this year I want to celebrate with snow, since I have never seen snow.

Julie: I have so many goals. I have fulfilled some dreams, like working with people that I admire. What I want now is to demonstrate that I can do other emotions. Sky's the limit!

(On Tim Allen) Julie: He has such great talent and now that I have worked with him I admire him much more.

(Translated from Spanish) Julie: Christmas is the best time of the year to be with family, to receive gifts, to share meals. There is no way someone can make me "skip" Christmas. Less now, than after being part of this film (Christmas with the Kranks), it will bring the family closer together. That is the most important thing about Christmas.

(On arriving in Hollywood) Julie: It was a blessing of God; I was born in Argentina and after eight years I moved to Miami. In school I began to take theater classes. I moved to Los Angeles, to prove, to see that I really had been born for this. The truth is that I had luck, I was with good people that helped me. I'm thankful.

Julie: When I arrived with my parents from Argentina, I was hardly 8 years old and nor did I know of the existence of Hollywood in the map!

(When asked whether or not she was popular in high school) Julie: Totally not! I had, like, two or three friends in high school. I've never been cool.

Julie: I would love to do an independent film in spanish.

(On her character from the movie 'A Cinderella Story') Julie: I had so much fun with the role of Shelby on this film.

Julie: Being blonde eliminated the possibilities to do latin roles, and the fact that I don't have a latin accent because I was practically raised in the US.
