It never occurred to me when I was 10 years old that I was going to end up representing an entire-not just community, but nationality. That's not something I ever thought of, because I wasn't a political person then. But I was forced to become one because of the circumstances. At some point, I discovered that a lot of people were suffering unnecessarily. I really started to understand that everyone has a responsibility to others and to a community, that you are not the only person in the world you simply represent, whether you like it or not. (Rita Moreno)
