It's the scariest thing in the world, going to acting class, because first of all, there's a lot of pressure. I just go back to being that fourth grader who couldn't, like, sit still in her seat.

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.

I love therapy! There's nothing like talking to someone who has no emotional tie to your life
Eva Mendes
Image
I listen to [customers] and we make adjustments because we pretty much average a collection every six weeks. We're constantly taking everything in and taking notes.
Eva Mendes
Image
I have a four-month-old and I also have a toddler, so that takes up all of my time.
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.
Eva Mendes
Image
I don't go to premieres. I attend film openings I'm in, and that's about it. Fame and celebrity doesn't matter to me. The longevity of my career does.
Eva Mendes
Image
I love having a man in my life, and being his woman at the end of the day. I know it's a dichotomy.
Eva Mendes
Image
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
Image
I'm very comfortable with myself and my sexuality, but it doesn't define me. I also read books believe it or not.
Eva Mendes
Image
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
Image
I come from a family and a heritage where you don't really go to therapy unless you're crazy. I want people to know that that's so not the case. It's enriching, and I've learned this new tool.
Eva Mendes
Image
I want my mother to think - she's a tough fashion critic.
Eva Mendes
Image
I love my country, but I believe that we are too quick to censor nudity
Eva Mendes
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 know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol.
Eva Mendes
Image
I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.
Eva Mendes
Image
Because celebrities' lives are so visible, I think it makes it look lighter than it is.
Eva Mendes
Image
I'm not an exhibitionist. But, honestly, for my art I'll do anything almost. I'll go there.
Eva Mendes
Image
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.
