Perez, one of 10 children in her family, was introduced to the arts at a Catholic convent, which she popped in and out of when she was kicked out by foster families and while her mother was in and out of prison.
Rosie Perez in an interview with “Variety” magazine, she talked, among other things, about the position of Latin American actors in Hollywood, but also about her difficult childhood. “I think Brendan deserved the Oscar,” he said, “but I’d be mad if Colin [Φάρελ] he had taken it for “Banshees of Inisherin”. He did something specific to his culture, right? How many other films has he made that was specific to his culture?’ None, is the magazine’s comment. “Correctly. This is what we ask as Latinos. We want to do things that are specific to our culture, to our history,” he added.

“A few of us made it, and I’m very grateful for that,” he said, adding: “But it’s not enough. And when we tell our stories, we have some executive who knows nothing about who we are as a people. And then they say, “Can you sweeten it up a bit?”. They want us to talk about these people, and then if it’s too real, they say, “You can take it down, because we don’t want the public to feel offended.” And people are sick of it. I think that’s why “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was the big winner [στα Όσκαρ]».

Referring to her childhood, she said: “I always wanted to dance and I always liked movies and I wanted to act.”
Perez, one of 10 children in her family, was introduced to the arts at a Catholic convent, which she popped in and out of when she was kicked out by foster families or after being hosted at her aunt’s house and while her mother was in and out of prison.
“It was the nuns at the convent who put me on stage. They taught me how to pitch—and how to play baseball—between the confessionals.”
Perez also said she was physically abused by the nuns as well as her mother during what she calls her “bitter” adolescence.
“When people say, ‘Yeah, but it made you who you are and you’re stronger,’ they’re validating the abuse, they’re giving credibility, right? Imagine what I would do without being beaten, without being mentally abused. So it’s bullshit. And I think people say that to make themselves feel better because it’s hard to hear.”
