Gina Rodriguez On Her Golden Globe Win: 'The Nomination Itself Was The Win'

Gina Rodriguez gets her close up on the Summer 2015 issue of Glam Belleza Latina.

The 30-year-old Jane The Virgin actress opened up about natural beauty values, the importance of her Golden Globe win and more. Check it:

On her Golden Globe win: “Obviously the win was fantastic, but the nomination itself was the win. I want to be acknowledged for what I do. For people to stop and say, ‘She can act her ass off. I want to work with her.’ That way I can tell more stories. And I can open up more doors. And God willing, I’ll get to a place where I can executive-produce shows and I can put other people on.”

On embracing natural beauty: “I still embrace the values that I was raised with. When people post pictures of me on social media looking crazy, in midspeech, I can still see beauty in those pictures. I’m real and I’m not put-together all the time. Like, that is just the truth. And to live up to that is just too much. It’s not sustainable at all.”

On red carpets: “No [it's never nerve wracking], because I belong there. I just do. So do the girls behind me and the girls in front of me. We all do. Genesis Rodriguez, Natalie Martinez, Melonie Diaz. I support them all. I’ve got their backs because we’re not alone.”

Gina is also pictured below, biking to the set of Deepwater Horizon in New Orleans on Monday afternoon (June 8).
