Eva Mendes

'Anchorman' is my favorite movie of all time and Ron Burgundy is one of my favorite characters of all time. It's my 'Gone With the Wind.'

I might act like it's an accident but the opposite is true. I'm incredibly calculated when it comes to my career.

When people write lies about you, and you know that they are lies, that means that they don't know the truth.

I love it, but it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane.

I've been with the same person for a very long time but I'm just non-conventional in that way. I don't think people need to be married. I think a lot of people need that piece of paper, but I don't think everybody needs that to feel secure.

I don't usually lose my temper, but if I get angry, it's true - I'm scary.

I love my country, but I believe that we are too quick to censor nudity.

It’s tapping into something so deep that when I reap the rewards, I do not even know I’m reaping them.

I do like to belong to a man.

I love having a man in my life, and being his woman at the end of the day. I know it's a dichotomy.

I know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol.

I've never had a problem with nudity, but I don't put it out there without a reason.

Personally, I think wearing a baby chinchilla says, 'I'm ignorant.'

I'm very comfortable with myself and my sexuality, but it doesn't define me. I also read books believe it or not.

I'm a modern woman in the sense of I take care of myself, I'm fiercely independent, and I'm really ambitious. Yet I have these old-school thoughts in my mind.

Actors used to carry films because people would have to actually go to the movies to see them. It was the only place. But now there's none of that mystique, and so there's less of a reason to buy a ticket.

I just want to be known for things other than my sexuality.

I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.

Once we got the scene down, we were told to improv.

People are incapable of stereotyping you; you stereotype yourself because you're the one who accepts roles that put you in this rut or in this stereotype.

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

We seem okay with violence, but nudity we race to criticize and censor.

I love therapy! There's nothing like talking to someone who has no emotional tie to your life.

I love every aspect of being a woman. I believe you should celebrate who you are.

I try not to go crazy, but yes, I pay attention to what I eat.

I'm not an exhibitionist. But, honestly, for my art I'll do anything almost. I'll go there.

Even if you buy a fur glove with the little trim, and you think 'Oh, my God, it's just a little trim,' that animal got clubbed.
