I still can't understand why anyone cares about what I do or what I say.

I've always been business-minded. I worked in corporate America before becoming an actress and knew that acting wasn't the end but a means to an end. It gave me the platform and the exposure I needed to do my philanthropic work. It also gave me the financial security to focus on my other businesses, start new businesses, and even help other people start businesses.

I banned bottled water from my house - we have a water-filter system so you can drink from the tap. We always drink out of glass, and recycling is a huge deal, which everybody can partake in.

The Eva Longoria who worked at Wendy's flipping burgers - she needed a tax break.

My acting is still being recognized for the fact that I wasn't nominated.

I could never give up Mexican food. Nachos are usually my go-to if I'm courtside at an NBA game. I always, always get my picture taken with my mouth wide open and a tortilla chip sticking out of it!

I grew up on a ranch with my father, so he educated us really early on about guns. We used to go target shooting all the time.
