39-year old, “Modern Family’s” Sofia Vergara recently discussed her boobs and plastic surgery with Health Magazine. Vergara revealed that her publicist wanted her to have a breast reduction:  ‘I think you should just reduce your boobs because nobody’s going to take you serious here.’ In a land where ‘bigger’ is usually better, albeit they are usually filled with silicone, you would think her publicist would see Vergara fitting in perfectly. In the end, Vergara took her mother’s advice and decided not go through with surgery.

You can see more of Vergara on Modern Family which airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on ABC.

Here’s some highlights from her interview:

Q: Are you anti–plastic surgery in general?
A: ”I’m not against it at all. But I think that you should go into it more thinking that you want to look beautiful than trying to look young. Because I don’t really think that plastic surgery can make you look young. It can make you look prettier, but if you go with the mentality of being young, I think that’s where accidents can happen.”

Q: You’re a natural blonde, right?
A: ”Yeah, about five years ago I was auditioning with this body and the attitude of a Latin woman, and it didn’t match the stereotype of the Latin women in Hollywood. I made it dark for a screen test and everybody really liked it. They didn’t give me the movie, but I kept the hair color!”

Q: How do you motivate yourself to work out if you’re too tired?
A: ”Oh my God, I look at myself in the mirror. And I’m like, I’m almost 40 years old and I need to go!”
