Quote

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.

I used to love fast food because I had no money, and I was a struggling actor.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.

Because celebrities' lives are so visible, I think it makes it look lighter than it is.

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.

I love my country, but I believe that we are too quick to censor nudity
Eva Mendes
Image
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!

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

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.

It's fun to be a woman. It's fun to flirt and wear makeup and have boobs.

I think being a woman in Hollywood is a big enough challenge. It really is. I don't want to be one of those people who complain. But the lack of roles out there - it's unbelievable.

Image
The celebrity world can be so ugly. Everyone seems to have slept with everyone else and it's some sort of strange weird cycle. I don't want to get into that.

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