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.

More quotes by Eva Mendes
Meditation really helps create not only a sense of balance... but serenity and kind of a calm state of mind.
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
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 know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol.
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
It's fun to be a woman. It's fun to flirt and wear makeup and have boobs.
Eva Mendes
I talk about therapy a lot because I love therapy. It has just enriched my life.
Eva Mendes
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
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.
Eva Mendes
We seem okay with violence, but nudity we race to criticize and censor.
Eva Mendes
Since I begrudgingly started my Instagram account and my social media exposure/connection. I say begrudgingly because I just didn't want to take the plunge, but when I realized it was just a direct connection to our customer and these women, I did it. I like listening to their stories and their feedback.
Eva Mendes
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
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!
Eva Mendes
I want my mother to think - she's a tough fashion critic.
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
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
[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've learned that it's way harder to be a baby. Everything is a struggle for her. For instance, I haven't thrown up since the '90s and she's thrown up twice since we started this interview. Motherhood is cake compared to what it's like to be a baby.
Eva Mendes
I love constructive criticism.
