More quotes by Eva Mendes
A lot of my social media posts are about celebrating these women who wear our clothes, feel great in them and have comments.
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
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
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
I love my country, but I believe that we are too quick to censor nudity
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
I keep my backstory pretty private and personal.
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 do like to belong to a man.
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
I love sleeping. If there was an Olympics for it, I'd take gold. I'm Cuban. We love to sleep.
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 think now we just know way too much about our celebrities. It's not that interesting when you know that much about people.
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 have a cosmetics line in Walgreens. It's exclusively at Walgreens. It's called Circa and it's basically prestige cosmetics that are at drug-store prices.
Eva Mendes
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.
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'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
