Lastly, here is an inspiring segment of one of her interview.

Besides Drina in “The Maid’s Room,” you’ve also portrayed a maid on “Devious Maids,” a show that got a lot of backlash for having Latina women portraying maids because people criticized the “stereotype.” How do you feel playing a maid yet again and wanting to make your people proud?  

"I find that completely ridiculous, although I try not to judge people for their opinions because they have the right to express them, but I feel that the way you break a stereotype is that you go into it, dissect it, and pay homage to it. There’s a lot of truth in stereotypes and I’m just in awe, because most Latina women in this country when they come undocumented, that’s what they do. You clean houses, you babysit. And the thing is that that “stereotype,” if you want to call it a stereotype, it rang true in my family. My grandmother migrated to this country in 1965 and she was a maid. And she did it with humility and she did it with passion and she was proud of it. And because of it she was able to bring her whole family, she was able to feed her kids, educate her kids, and so much so that I was able to dream ridiculously big and achieve my dream of becoming a Hollywood actress because of that. I think that there’s no shame in being a maid. Why? So if I was portraying a lawyer that’s better than a maid? And I just didn’t get that. Why is the lawyer’s story more important, or should be told more than the maid’s? A maid’s story to me is just as important and just as interesting as if you tell me the story of a lawyer or a scientist. I just didn’t identify with that whole controversy." - Paula Graces

Clearly, Paula is happy that she could play so many character roles in her long career. She doesn't want to play a stereotypical character, but indeed she will definitely play it if the character has rich story and acting potential. Well that is what acting is.
