More quotes by Eva Mendes
I used to love fast food because I had no money, and I was a struggling actor.
Eva Mendes
I talk about therapy a lot because I love therapy. It has just enriched my life.
Eva Mendes
I really like nice forearms - nice strong hands and forearms. I love that because then they can wear a watch really well.
Eva Mendes
Even if you buy a fur glove with the little trim, and you think 'Oh, my God, it's just a little trim,' that animal got clubbed.
Eva Mendes
I am a man with an open mind. I really don't know anything, but I'm very interested in the spiritual and the material.
Eva Mendes
I'm very free with my sexuality, but not everywhere all the time. I pick and choose when I do nudity, and who I do it for when I'm working, and when I'm doing it. I've done nudity twice in a film.
Eva Mendes
It's important for me to work with a strong director because I know I can go to some really deep places, I just need direction on how to get there.
Eva Mendes
I love a loose-fitting skirt with a cinched waist. A feminine silhouette is a no-stress zone - it's comfortable and I don't have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions!
Eva Mendes
I'm an actress. To be honest, it's a very awkward business. It's one of those things where it's almost like a first date. There's a way you want to come across. You want to show your goods. The truth starts to slip out sometimes.
Eva Mendes
I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.
Eva Mendes
It's tapping into something so deep that when I reap the rewards, I do not even know I'm reaping them. It's a more overall kinda thing.
Eva Mendes
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.
Eva Mendes
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.
Eva Mendes
I have to be a little bit guarded, because I can be very open and I like to include people, but then again I have to remind myself to be careful.
Eva Mendes
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
Maybe something that's acceptable in your teens or 20s is unacceptable in your 30s or 40s
Eva Mendes
Knowing when someone's the real deal or not, but still with putting your guard up and self-protecting, you've got to stay open. It comes back to balance.
Eva Mendes
I love it, but it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane
Eva Mendes
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.
Eva Mendes
I don't usually lose my temper, but if I get angry, it's true - I'm scary.
