Jane
the
Virgin
actress
Gina
Rodriguez
states
that
she
has
been
working
consciously
towards
selecting
the
roles
in
movies
in
order
to
promote
the
image
of
Latinos
in
the
film
industry.
The
actress
also
says
that
there
aren't
many
to
uphold
that
image
in
the
movie
industry.
Gina
Rodriguez,
32,
has
gradually
built
her
career
in
the
industry
by
carefully
picking
on
the
opportunities
that
came
her
way.
"My
path
wasn't
laid
out
for
me
in
my
family
or
my
culture
because
there
are
so
few
of
us
in
the
industry.
That's
how
my
whole
career
happened.
Your
eyes
are
open;
you
don't
know
what
the
next
answer
is
going
to
be,
but
you're
open." Said
Gina
"And
you
take
every
opportunity
that
comes
your
way," she
added.
Gina
Rodriguez
added,
she
is
happy
with
the
fact
that
her
efforts
to
uphold
a
good
image
of
Latinos
in
the
film
industry
has
paid
off
well.
"I
decided
I
was
going
to
take
roles
that
progressed
the
image
of
Latinos
in
the
industry,
and
I
was
going
to
choose
those
roles
over
money.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
was
contributing
positively
and
not
allowing
limitations
to
dampen
my
experiences
and
my
journey." Added
Gina.
"So
that
whenever
another
person,
an
endorsement,
or
a
project
comes
into
play,
they
are
an
addition,
not
filling
a
need
for
value
or
fulfillment
or
worth
or
love.
Because
if
I
do
that,
I
will
forever
be
hungry."
Gina
stated
further.
