Quote

I wish writing was a talent that I had. I've tried. Unfortunately, I'm just not talented in the writing department. But, if I was, I would just write complicated roles for women because there's a lack of them.

When I first went to Europe, I thought I was going to move there. I was making plans to move to the south of Spain. It's such a cute, innocent thought. I think we all go through it.

Image
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.

Image
I really like nice forearms - nice strong hands and forearms. I love that because then they can wear a watch really well.

I still go to acting class. I love the craft. It's just so much fun for me, and I'm always a student.

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.

I love sleeping. If there was an Olympics for it, I'd take gold. I'm Cuban. We love to sleep.

I want my mother to think - she's a tough fashion critic.

Image
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 just want to be known for things other than my sexuality.
Eva Mendes
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

We seem okay with violence, but nudity we race to criticize and censor.

I have a four-month-old and I also have a toddler, so that takes up all of my time.
Eva Mendes
Image
I love it, but it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane

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!

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.

I am a man with an open mind. I really don't know anything, but I'm very interested in the spiritual and the material.
Eva Mendes
Image
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.
Eva Mendes
Image
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.
