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.

Image
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.

When the bread basket comes to the table and I have a bite, people are like, Oh, you eat bread? I say, Oh, my God, of course I eat bread. I'm human.

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.

I keep my backstory pretty private and personal.

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.

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.

I don't usually lose my temper, but if I get angry, it's true - I'm scary.
Eva Mendes
Image
I love sleeping. If there was an Olympics for it, I'd take gold. I'm Cuban. We love to sleep.
Eva Mendes
Image
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!

I used to love fast food because I had no money, and I was a struggling actor.
Eva Mendes
Image
I do think once I get into expectations, I've just trained myself. I've just trained myself to just move on to the next.

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.

I think now we just know way too much about our celebrities. It's not that interesting when you know that much about people.

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.

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.

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
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.
