[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
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
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
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 listen to [customers] and we make adjustments because we pretty much average a collection every six weeks. We're constantly taking everything in and taking notes.
Eva Mendes
I'm not an exhibitionist. But, honestly, for my art I'll do anything almost. I'll go there.
