Gomez reflects on her childhood, stating, "I got my first job at 7, and most of my jobs from that point on were English. And I just lost [my Spanish]. That's kind of the case for a lot of people, especially Mexican American people." This highlights her struggle to maintain her cultural language in the pursuit of a successful acting career.
In discussing her preparation for the film Emilia Perez, Gomez expresses, "I spent nearly half a year taking language lessons to prepare for the role: 'I wish I just knew a lot more than I do. But I think that's why I try to honor my culture as much as possible from releasing an album in Spanish to wanting to pursue this movie.'" This shows her commitment to her heritage.
Gomez elaborates on her experience working with Steve Martin and Martin Short in Only Murders in the Building, stating, "They'll sit down and talk to our camera guy and ask how his daughter's doing. And it just, to me, was a very good place for me to start back into acting. It just was safe. And it was so fun." This illustrates the supportive environment they created for her.
Reflecting on the song "Mi Camino" from Emilia Perez, Gomez shares, "It was one of the most emotional songs that I got to record during the process of shooting this movie. And I remember just singing it and thinking to myself: This could have been my song." This comment emphasizes her deep emotional connection to her work.
