Sofia Vergara recently shared her thoughts about the issues of diversity and the objectification of certain characters in Hollywood, taking a relatively relaxed stance on both topics.

"Here I am on prime-time television with this stupid accent, I can't trash anyone," she recently told The Edit. "It would be so ungrateful of me because, trust me, I've been treated like a queen. Of course [the opportunities] can't compare to an American or Caucasian woman's, but things are changing."

With so few Hispanic characters on TV, Vergara revealed she has grown to accept the stereotypical characters some Latinos have to play to get big breaks.

"I mean, Gloria is an amazing character: a really good woman with this hilarious accent," she said of her "Modern Family" character. "So why criticize her for being a stereotype? Plus, all the Latinas I know are loud, they dress sexy and are really involved with their families: that's Gloria."

Vergara added she doesn't lose any sleep about the thought of being objectified.

"I've never understood why women get so offended. I just don't believe in all that drama, which is why I've made a whole joke out of it," she added. "I am secure enough not to take it all that seriously, and I like to laugh at myself. My husband was a male stripper in Magic Mike XXL-do you think he was offended by the objectification?

Vergara recently married Joe Manganiello, and the couple are already rumored to be considering having a child together. How that will happen is where things get a bit confusing.

"I wouldn't mind another child," the 43-year-old actress said. "He wants kids so we're trying to figure out what we're going to do. The idea of doing it all again doesn't scare me, but hey, it's not like it's going to happen naturally, is it?"

While some at Vergara's age might be concerned about childbearing, she seemed at peace with the idea, though she admitted that watching herself age on screen was not her idea of must-see TV.

"Watching myself age on screen is awful," she said. "There is nothing more disturbing than watching an episode of 'Modern Family' from the first season, then one from seven years later. It just makes me want to kill myself, but what can I do?"

Returning to the issue of Hollywood diversity, Vergara seemed convinced the problem was not as simple as many make it out to be.

"The problem is not the networks or directors: it's that there aren't enough writers creating things for Latinos," she said. "Once we have more Latinos writing, that's when things may really start to change."
