Quotes

"I tend to like a mysterious guy, a quiet type who stares at you so that you're going, What is he thinking? Does he want to kill me or take me home?"¹ —Eva Mendes

"It’s strange growing up in a city where everyone is an “aspiring blank”—writer, singer, actor. I didn’t want to be that. I wanted to go into art history. Acting fell into my lap when a neighbor took pictures of me and showed them to an agent. "²—Eva Mendes
