Some [actors] are really a pain in the ass today. I held out on getting an assistant forever because I didn't want to seem demanding... or like a pain in the ass. I didn't want someone working for me to hate me.

More quotes by Jessica Alba
I like to organize. I have an opinion. I like to get stuff done.
Jessica Alba
I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss.
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
I wish I could speak Spanish, because it would be a lot easier to play more interesting roles.
Jessica Alba
You have to be the best of whatever you are, but successful, cool actresses come in all shapes and sizes.
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
It's really, really, really difficult to have the same occupation as the person you're with - especially when you're both actors.

The time I'm not spending with my kid has to be worth it, so when I sat down with my agents after I was ready to go back to work, I told them: It's all about the directors.
Jessica Alba
Love is ever evolving and it takes compromise, work and patience.
Jessica Alba
I'm not trying to do stuff for my kids necessarily all the time, but when you get the odd opportunity to do something for them that they could enjoy its cool.
Jessica Alba
I like to cook. I would probably go to culinary school in France if I had time.
Jessica Alba
The time I'm not spending with my kid has to be worth it.
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
I basically went out with any guy who asked me because hardly anyone ever asked me out.
Jessica Alba
The secret to using power is not to use it. Just having it is enough.
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
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
Success takes communication, collaboration and, sometimes, failure.
Jessica Alba
My approach to acting now is so different -- I'm fearless because I have nothing to lose. Before [children] my identity was wrapped up in every decision -- now, I don't care.
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.
