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.

More quotes by 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 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
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
Meditation really helps create not only a sense of balance... but serenity and kind of a calm state of mind.
Eva Mendes
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.
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 come from a family and a heritage where you don't really go to therapy unless you're crazy. I want people to know that that's so not the case. It's enriching, and I've learned this new tool.
Eva Mendes
I'm not an exhibitionist. But, honestly, for my art I'll do anything almost. I'll go there.
Eva Mendes
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
People in my inner circle of loved ones - we're tight and I've never misjudged someone as far as I know I can feel someone's intentions, I know their intentions before they probably are honest enough with themselves to know it, so that's my strength.
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
I keep my backstory pretty private and personal.
Eva Mendes
I'm a trained actress and I can do it, but I think that you have to prove yourself
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'm very comfortable with myself and my sexuality, but it doesn't define me. I also read books believe it or not.
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 love my curves and I embrace them.
Eva Mendes
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
Eva Mendes
That's the beauty of being an actress, is that you hopefully get to have different roles and really stretch yourself. This is really what I've been working for a while. I've been in the business for a minute, and it's an opportunity like this that I've been really working towards.
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
