Roselyn Sanchez

Roselyn Sanchez: Even though the stuff I'm doing right now is relatively easy, I think in the future I would love to play things that have nothing to do with me and that's good.

Reporter: Since you play a dance instructor, how good of a dancer are you yourself? Roselyn Sanchez: I am a great dancer! (laughs) I've been dancing since I was four years old.

Reporter: What's next for you? Roselyn: Well, I'm a spokesperson for Mountain Dew, so after I finish this, I am going to New York to shoot the first commercial, and that's gonna be huge, hopefully.

Reporter: How was it working with Forest Whitaker (the producer of the film)? Roselyn: Forest was great. He was really hands on and a guiding hand throughout the process.

Reporter: You are Puerto Rican. Tell me about some of your favorite things you love about the island. Roselyn: I love my mom's cooking immensely.

Reporter: What do you love about acting? Roselyn: I think it's fascinating. All my life I've been performing and just the fact that you can play all these different roles that are so removed from who you are.

Reporter: How did you go from beauty pageants and modeling to acting? Roselyn: I don't know. One thing led to the other.

Reporter: Does Hollywood treat you differently now? Roselyn: Sometimes. That's part of the game. You know how it is when you're struggling and when you're trying, trying, trying.

Reporter: In Basic, was it hard to be in the rain all the time? Roselyn: Yeah, that was the most challenging job I've done.

Reporter: You're a dancer, but you actually had to dance badly in Chasing Papi. Was that fun? Roselyn: I hated it.

Reporter: Will you focus on music now instead of movies? Rseolyn: No, I'm going to do both things. I just have to be very disciplined, but I want to be able to combine both things together and we'll see what happens.

Reporter: What's your music like? Roselyn: It's in Spanish. It's like a few different sounds. It might be like a Latin Sade with Santana mixed. It's tropical but it's not. It's really cool.
