I go, `God, you know, it all sounds so familiar. I know what you`re saying, I really do. I just cannot respond to you back in Spanish. I can barely speak English properly.` I didn`t grow up in a Cuban or Latin community. I grew up in Southern California on the beach, basically. And I`m third generation. I`m of Cuban descent, but I`m American. - when asked if she can speak Spanish
- Cameron DiazIt`s OK. I don`t mind being, you know to try and subordinate my moods, and reflexes and impulses sometimes and have to be sweet descent and nice, I don`t think that`s a bad thing, especially I don`t think I would have that if I didn`t have acting as an outlet, because acting asks you demands you and allows you to be reactive passionate all of yourself, your authentic self in fact your more naked self, your enraged self, your jerky self, your self, its a great outlet so in life if we have to be, you don`t want to be phony, but its not a bad idea to have to sidestep your negativity, to count to ten sometimes do the right thing be sweet to people figure out what you can do to to contribute in a situation, and that`s not a bad thing.
- Jeff GoldblumMy whole life, when I was growing up, not one race has ever accepted me. So I never felt connected or attached to any race specifically. I did grow up in a Mexican-American culture, but my mom (who`s of French and Danish descent) was there the whole time. I mean, I had a very American upbringing, I feel American, and I don`t speak Spanish. So, to say that I`m a Latin actress, OK, but it`s not fitting; it would be insincere. If you`re going to look genetically, I`m actually less Latin than Cameron Diaz, whose father is from Cuba. But she`s not getting called a Latin actress because she`s got blond hair and blue eyes.

- Édouard PelletIn the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
- Alan BartonThough born in Nova Scotia, I am of almost pure New England descent.
- Andrea SolariVisually significant cataract appears to be high among U.S. Hispanic individuals of Mexican descent, as evidenced by rate of cataract and rate of surgery,
- Andy LallyIt was nothing major. I crashed on the descent, although it was weird crashing a mile before it happened. I wasn`t too happy with that.
- Angela GreenThe queen doesn`t really want her son to be married. So she devises the test. But the princess twitches all night and proves she`s of royal descent.
