More quotes by Eva Mendes
People are incapable of stereotyping you you stereotype yourself because you're the one who accepts roles that put you in this rut or in this stereotype
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
The celebrity world can be so ugly. Everyone seems to have slept with everyone else and it's some sort of strange weird cycle. I don't want to get into that.
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 just want to be known for things other than my sexuality.
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'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.
Eva Mendes
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
I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.
Eva Mendes
[Affordable prices] are important to me. My mother lets me know [if something is too expensive]. With a few dresses, she's, like, That's too much. But Mom, it's $59.99. It's too much. And then I go back and we talk about price points. My family keeps my grounded.
Eva Mendes
I have full faith in people. I think that we have the ability to change. We're habitual creatures. Once we figure out that bad habit and identify it, whether it's behavioral or whatever it may be, we change our habits. Obviously, I'm simplifying it and making it sound very easy to do, and we all know it's very difficult, but it's doable.
Eva Mendes
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
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 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
You can't do sweatpants... ladies, number one cause of divorce in America, sweatpants, no!
Eva Mendes
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
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
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'm a modern woman in the sense of I take care of myself, I'm fiercely independent, and I'm really ambitious. Yet I have these old-school thoughts in my mind.
Eva Mendes
I just love architecture, and I just love the idea of being someone who sees the world differently and doing everything you can do in order to actualize that dream. And really sticking to your guns when everyone else is telling you that you're crazy.
