Rosie Perez Talks Stereotypes

Rosie Perez recently spoke out at the Tribeca Film Festival about the stereotypical roles she has been offered because she is Latina. Page Six quotes her as follows:

“How many crackhead ho scripts are you going to send me? I don’t mind being a crackhead ho but … make me the lead. I don’t want to be quiet. I do want to rock the boat...It was very, very painful to see fear coming from my own people. I would see so many scripts that had the line ‘We have to stick together for mi familia.' Who talks like that?...It’s gotten better but it still sucks.”

On getting older:
“My agent told me I am not fuckable anymore.”
