More quotes by Jessica Alba
I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss.
Jessica Alba
If I didn't get a job, between 16 and 18, that wasn't significant, I was just going to go to college. I didn't want to be a struggling actor at 36 with five kids, doing something I hated. You see the story so much. It's such a vicious business to be in when you're not meant to be in it.
Jessica Alba
My whole life, when I was growing up, not one race has ever accepted me, ... So I never felt connected or attached to any race specifically. I had a very American upbringing, I feel American, and I don't speak Spanish. So, to say that I'm a Latin actress, OK, but it's not fitting it would be insincere.
Jessica Alba
It's really, really, really difficult to have the same occupation as the person you're with - especially when you're both actors.
Jessica Alba
As a kid, I was always sick. I had pneumonia, I had really severe allergies. And it wasn't until I got older, that I realized some of that was caused by toxins in things like detergent. That made me crazy, because it's supposed to help get things clean!
Jessica Alba
I bizarrely think that this [Sin City] is the perfect date movie. If a guy took me on a date to see this movie, I would marry him, for sure. It's bad-ass chicks and rad dudes, who are sexy, all over the place, and there's so much cool action.
Jessica Alba
Nothing is put on pause. Everything is still happening. And then as far as just reflecting on what got you to where you are, there aren't very many times where we have the space to sit and reflect and really understand the depth of what it took and the grit that we had to have to get to where we are.
Jessica Alba
All moms need confidants who are in their shoes and can relate to what they're going through. You need a night out together to be who you are, and not feel like you have to be the career woman, wife and mommy--all at once. After all, we're not superwomen.
Jessica Alba
[On accepting travel suggestions from her two daughters, 6 and 3:] When they pay for the vacation, they get to dictate where we go.
Jessica Alba
I like to organize. I have an opinion. I like to get stuff done.
Jessica Alba
I'm not incredibly self-conscious. I don't really feel like I walk around making fashion or my appearance the most important thing in the world. It's certainly not the way that I live my life. I'm not really sure how the magazines perceive me because I don't read them.
Jessica Alba
It feels like I'm starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.
Jessica Alba
I really like older British guys - I don't think any of them would ever have a problem with crying in front of a woman or saying I love you or You hurt me or emotional stuff like that.
Jessica Alba
Your husband or your wife is the only person you can really choose to be your family and to have unconditional love with them.
Jessica Alba
The secret to using power is not to use it. Just having it is enough.
Jessica Alba
My mind is constantly in five different places, but golf is great because it forces you to focus completely and purely on what you're doing.
Jessica Alba
I don't hang out with the Hollywood cool people. I'm not out trying to make friends with people because they're famous.
Jessica Alba
The time I'm not spending with my kid has to be worth it.
Jessica Alba
I think people couldn't really put me in [one race]. I wasn't Mexican, I wasn't white, I wasn't black, I wasn't Asian... I wasn't anything, and I didn't really fit into anybody's group. My dad is Mexican, and my mom is French and Danish.
Jessica Alba
Being perfect is being flawed, accepting it, and never letting it make you feel less than your best.
Jessica Alba
