I liked the monsters, I liked them because I couldn't understand how something so scary could also be so good. It got me thinking as a very early age, and I had a lot of rehearsal.

More quotes by Eva Mendes
I make conscious decisions to stay out of the limelight. Without my make-up I'm pretty much the girl next door.
Eva Mendes
When people write lies about you, and you know that they are lies, that means that they don't know the truth, so that's OK with me. If something true came out, I would have to check my circle to see who's talking and possibly make an apology phone call to my parents!
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
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.

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'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
[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 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
I'm really loving and open at the same time.
Eva Mendes
Maybe something that's acceptable in your teens or 20s is unacceptable in your 30s or 40s
Eva Mendes
I talk about therapy a lot because I love therapy. It has just enriched my life.
Eva Mendes
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
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 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
I like a mysterious man. I like a man who reads and is knowledgeable about the world, but who doesn’t have to brag about it.
Eva Mendes
Well I'm a 5 year old at heart I still think that there is a monster under my bed - and I'm not joking. It's pathetic, it's really not cute.
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.
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
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.
Eva Mendes
