I still go to acting class. I love the craft. It's just so much fun for me, and I'm always a student.

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.

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.

People in my inner circle of loved ones - we're tight and I've never misjudged someone as far as I know I can feel someone's intentions, I know their intentions before they probably are honest enough with themselves to know it, so that's my strength.

I'm drawn to look tough. The arched eyebrows are just there - I don't do them like that. I have strong features, but I wish I could be tougher.
Eva Mendes

There's something very romantic to me about people who persevere, and who get told no, no, no on a daily basis, and still do it anyway.

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.

I really like nice forearms - nice strong hands and forearms. I love that because then they can wear a watch really well.

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.

I'm very comfortable with myself and my sexuality, but it doesn't define me. I also read books believe it or not.

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.
