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
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
It's important for me to work with a strong director because I know I can go to some really deep places, I just need direction on how to get there.
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
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
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
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'm drawn to a lot of tragedies, and I love a Greek tragedy.But I would think - I start thinking realistically about it, and performing eight days a week, that would take a toll. I take things to heart. I don't know if I could survive, like, Medea.
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'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 want my mother to think - she's a tough fashion critic.
Eva Mendes
You're going from audition to audition, changing in the backseat, and all that fun stuff that's great to do at one time in your life. That's when the 49-cent taco, as disgusting as it is, really plays into your day. It really helps you out.
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
I'm not an exhibitionist. But, honestly, for my art I'll do anything almost. I'll go there.
Eva Mendes
But I've never felt objectified. Nothing you see me do is an accident.
Eva Mendes
I just want to be known for things other than my sexuality.
Eva Mendes
You can't do sweatpants... ladies, number one cause of divorce in America, sweatpants, no!
Eva Mendes
I do like to belong to a man.
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
I love my curves and I embrace them.
