Rodriguez isn't apologizing for her dramatic new look.

"I think it all plays into the idea of being your own hero and not feeling like you have to live up to other people’s expectations," she told the magazine. "I am not my beauty. Who I am is not my fucking hair, and to be an actor is to transform. To represent a community is to commit, to give my entire all. So if I’m going to represent Latinos in the industry and in art, if I’m going to represent my little cousins in Chicago, they’re going to know that I went full out. Who are we afraid of? What are we afraid of? The worst thing that can happen is we die. Anything else you can handle."

Anyone else pumped to see G-Rod hit the big screen?
