Masiela Lusha

Masiela Lusha: I worked at a soup kitchen in Burbank and set up tables, washed off tables and served. The amazing thing about the homeless is that they have such optimism. They help out the other homeless. I give them so much credit.

Masiela Lusha: Before I die, I want to receive an Oscar and Pulitzer Prize.

Masiela Lusha: It is a tough business to do all on your own. You always need some support, you always need someone to back you up and to remind you that another day's going to come. I still say, to this day, how blessed I am to have my mother to support me and to be there for me 24/7.

Masiela Lusha: I love to write. I think one thing people would be surprised to find out about me is, with myself, I don't feel comfortable with the media attention on me. Really, I just like to stay by myself, watch movies, read a nice book, hang out with my friends.

Masiela Lusha: (About George Lopez and her role in the sitcom) The sitcom allows me to jump around and to express the entire emotion of Carmen through one big jump or one big hand swing, and that says a lot about a person. Not everybody just acts with their face in real life. We all move our hands sometimes without thinking. We all move our bodies. We all tense up, or we all loosen up, and because the cameras are so wide, it's almost like theatre.

Masiela Lusha: Well, ever since I was growing up, I always loved to be in front of the camera. I guess I always had that feeling that I always needed to be in the spotlight, but I didn't start pursuing it, nor did I start considering Hollywood until I was about twelve or thirteen, when my looks could get me modeling jobs.

Masiela Lusha: (About the George Lopez show) It's been a great experience with the show. For me, I think I learned the most about the industry every single day. I am so blessed that I was given this opportunity. I'm so proud to say I'm an actress.
