Quote

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

I have a four-month-old and I also have a toddler, so that takes up all of my time.

I'm very comfortable with myself and my sexuality, but it doesn't define me. I also read books believe it or not.

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.
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
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.

I talk about therapy a lot because I love therapy. It has just enriched my life.

People are incapable of stereotyping you you stereotype yourself because you're the one who accepts roles that put you in this rut or in this stereotype

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.

Since I begrudgingly started my Instagram account and my social media exposure/connection. I say begrudgingly because I just didn't want to take the plunge, but when I realized it was just a direct connection to our customer and these women, I did it. I like listening to their stories and their feedback.

I've been with the same person for a very long time but I'm just non-conventional in that way. I don't think people need to be married. I think a lot of people need that piece of paper, but I don't think everybody needs that to feel secure

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

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.

Image
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'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'm really loving and open at the same time.
