Quote

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.

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.

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
Image
I don't really have a problem with just wanting sex. Never have. Even when I was a virgin and wanted to marry the first guy who I slept with, I never passed any judgments about that. But now I'm done [with dating around].
Jessica Alba
Image
I think that people who don't like animals tend to be selfish, but I'm biased.

Image
I could have a one-night stand, and I'm the kind of girl who looks over in the morning and is like, Do you really have to be here? I don't need to cuddle and do all that stuff because I know what it is and I don't try to make it more. I feel like a lot of women try to make it into more, so they don't feel so bad about just wanting to have sex.

I like to organize. I have an opinion. I like to get stuff done.
Jessica Alba
Image
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.

Image
Being perfect is being flawed, accepting it, and never letting it make you feel less than your best.
Jessica Alba
Image
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.

Image
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.

Success takes communication, collaboration and, sometimes, failure.

Most nights I end up wearing a wife beater T-shirt and boxers.
Jessica Alba
Image
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
Image
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.

When I was young, I loved black men.

Image
I loved my baby dolls when I was a kid. I used to pray with them and say good night to each and every one of them because I didn't want their feelings to get hurt. I remember having that connection with my baby dolls.

Image
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.

I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss.
Jessica Alba
Image
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.

Image
All the rejection that I've been through only made me stronger, and it's part of being an entrepreneur. You kind of have to take the kid gloves off and let them feel it because it's not going to be the first time that someone's going to say no or close a door in your face. You're going to have to figure out how to burst through it.
