More quotes by Jessica Alba
When it comes to diversity, women are still underrepresented in so many different places, but one place we're not underrepresented is we hold a majority of the household income, and we control that.
Jessica Alba
There's no such thing as a perfect guy. I think it would be strange if somebody was absolutely everything you always wanted, because then there'd be no challenge. Also, you'd feel inferior.
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
As a girl, I was always told I was nasty or dirty if I was sexual in any way. Americans are such prudes.
Jessica Alba
When I went from girl body to woman body and all of a sudden I had tits and hips and a little tummy and natural fat in places, I freaked out.
Jessica Alba
Like many other moms out there, I try to buy safe products for my family, but that can't be the only solution. You can't hire a team of scientists to do your shopping for you. At some point the government has to step in and ensure that chemicals are safe before our children are exposed to them.
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
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
The time I'm not spending with my kid has to be worth it.
Jessica Alba
I get self-conscious, but you have to just embrace it and go with it.
Jessica Alba
I think the world is ready for people of color to take on more heroic and leading roles, and not always be the sidekick, the nemesis or any sort of stereotype of what a person of color can play typically in a Hollywood picture.
Jessica Alba
I wish there were two of me and 48-hour days so I could get everything done. But for me, I have to not try and think that everything has to be 100% perfect all the time and leave room for error. As long as my kids feel loved and a priority, everything really is secondary.
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 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
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
Good actors never use the script unless it's amazing writing. All the good actors I've worked with, they all say whatever they want to say.
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
I did research when I was pregnant with my first daughter and was horrified by the chemicals in products, even those meant for babies. I would have to go to 50 different places just to get my house and my kid 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
I am the good girl and I always play the good girl. It's nice to do that.
