Eva Mendes quotes

". . . I feel I'll take on the responsibility of showing the world a whole different kind of Latin woman."

"It's fun to be a woman. It's fun to flirt and wear makeup and have boobs."

"The celebrity world can be so ugly. Everyone seems to have slept with everyone else and it's some sort of strange weird cycle. I don't want to get into that."

"I don't go to premieres. I attend film openings I'm in, and that's about it. Fame and celebrity doesn't matter to me. The longevity of my career does."

"I have the hugest... overbite. It's so big, my older brothers and sisters used to call me Bugs. I looked like a bottle opener. But I've never fixed my bite because it's one of the things that makes me me. I used to get teased about the mole on my left cheek. In junior high the other kids would say, 'You've got some chocolate on your face,' and I fell for it every time. I said, 'The minute I turn 18 I'm going to get that mole removed!' But I'm happy I didn't. My best feature is my big hips. I've got some nice childbearing hips, and I feel very proud of them. When I was younger I thought they were too big. I wanted to be slimmer. But now I totally embrace them."

"It's fun to flirt and wear makeup and have boobs."

"guys can be yucky, and girls are sweet, soft and smell good."

"..I'm a girl's girl."

"..One of the perks of being a girl is playing with makeup.."

"....Fame is for the insecure."

"I can go 14 to 15 hours straight with no breaks."

"Oh God. I have the best Fonda story. He's awesome. He's Peter Fonda . And so one day we're hanging out on set and -- don't hold this against me -- but even though I had never seen Easy Rider , I just knew he was an amazing actor. And we're hanging out talking and I said, I'm so sorry I never saw Easy Rider ,' and I thought he was going to hit me or something. But he was like, You've never seen it?' I said No.' He's like, Well, why don't we have an Easy Rider party at Mark's [Steven Johnson, director] place and I'll narrate the film for you guys.' And so, literally, he did!"

"Because my boyfriend plays there Monday nights ... and the pool."

(on filming sex scenes with Joaquin Phoenix in “We Own The Night“) "I wasn't comfortable at all, but they were very sweet and they poured me a vodka and orange juice and then I was fine. I'm very professional and I don't usually drink on the job but that morning I had to have something. It was my first sex scene and thank God James Gray was directing it. He did it at the end of the shoot, so it was the last day and I was really, really comfortable with James and Joaquin."

"When I’m getting ready for a big event, my favourite thing to listen to is Gnarls Barkley. Their music is incredibly funky and really gets my energy going."

"When I put weight on, it doesn’t go to my ass or thighs. It goes straight to my boobs."


(On marriage plans) "I don't believe in the institution of marriage, for me. If you love somebody and have a commitment that is strong and spiritual, then I just don't think a piece of paper makes any difference. I'm part of that whole school of thought that says when homosexuals can get married, maybe I'll start opening my mind to it."

(denying a fling with her “We Own The Night” co-star Joaquin Phoenix) "God, we went out to dinner together. We were working together so, of course, you'd go out and have a meal after work. Why wouldn't you? I'm a grown woman! Do you think I'd be making out with somebody? I stopped doing that when I was 14. Yuck!"

(on making her breasts bigger for her role in “Ghost Rider“) "The original Roxanne was blonde and blue-eyed, but also had huge bajoongas. If I gain weight it goes to my boobs and my butt. I figured since I can't be blonde and blue-eyed, I'll at least have her bra size. So the bajoongas got big. They were out of control!"

(on her 2007 New Years resolution) "For the 10th year in a row I will make a resolution to not bite my nails. And for the 10th year in a row I'm sure I will break that by 5 January. I think that's the longest I went without biting my nails. I'm meeting with a hypnotherapist in an effort to stop. I'm really happy about this because that's one of my things that I do that I no longer want to do."
