I know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol.
Eva Mendes
Image
I still go to acting class. I love the craft. It's just so much fun for me, and I'm always a student.
Eva Mendes
Image
I used to love fast food because I had no money, and I was a struggling actor.

Image
I just want to be known for things other than my sexuality.
Eva Mendes
Image
I think being a woman in Hollywood is a big enough challenge. It really is. I don't want to be one of those people who complain. But the lack of roles out there - it's unbelievable.
Eva Mendes
Image
The one thing I cannot tolerate in life is seeing people being taken advantage of, I cannot tolerate it I can't even see it in a movie. That can borderline on abuse and so what I would say is: really know when to put that guard up, and know how to really read people because that will help you along the way.

I'd love for my ambition and will and intellect and sense of humour to define me as well. I'm definitely responsible for the image that I put out there. But it does become frustrating, because I don't want 'sexy' to be my defining characteristic.

I love sleeping. If there was an Olympics for it, I'd take gold. I'm Cuban. We love to sleep.

I make conscious decisions to stay out of the limelight. Without my make-up I'm pretty much the girl next door.

Image
When I first went to Europe, I thought I was going to move there. I was making plans to move to the south of Spain. It's such a cute, innocent thought. I think we all go through it.

Image
The careers that I admire and actually try to emulate are those of Julianne Moore and Annette Bening. Those women, to me, make amazing choices. They're sexy, beautiful women, but that doesn't dictate their choices.
Eva Mendes
Image
I don't come from a wealthy or privileged background, and growing up I was always looking for the best quality at a price I could afford. My love of vintage is rooted in that. Drugstores were the mecca for the latest makeup trends and products.
Eva Mendes
Image
I'm very comfortable with myself and my sexuality, but it doesn't define me. I also read books believe it or not.

Image
Meditation really helps create not only a sense of balance... but serenity and kind of a calm state of mind.
Eva Mendes
Image
It's fun to be a woman. It's fun to flirt and wear makeup and have boobs.
Eva Mendes
Image
I wish writing was a talent that I had. I've tried. Unfortunately, I'm just not talented in the writing department. But, if I was, I would just write complicated roles for women because there's a lack of them.

When the bread basket comes to the table and I have a bite, people are like, Oh, you eat bread? I say, Oh, my God, of course I eat bread. I'm human.

That's the beauty of being an actress, is that you hopefully get to have different roles and really stretch yourself. This is really what I've been working for a while. I've been in the business for a minute, and it's an opportunity like this that I've been really working towards.

The biographies are very enlightening because you realise, Oh my God, all these people I’ve admired - and tried to emulate even - when I was younger died tragically from substance abuse.

I think now we just know way too much about our celebrities. It's not that interesting when you know that much about people.
