Jessica Alba
A parent knows better than any book or expert what their kid really needs.

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.

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.

When I do comedy, I lose all inhibition and introspection. I no longer care.
Jessica Alba
I actually wanted to be a producer because I like to run things.
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
Success takes communication, collaboration and, sometimes, failure.
Jessica Alba
I like to organize. I have an opinion. I like to get stuff done.
Jessica Alba
Most nights I end up wearing a wife beater T-shirt and boxers.
Jessica Alba
You have to be the best of whatever you are, but successful, cool actresses come in all shapes and sizes.
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
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.
