I'm not a matchmaker. I'm a horrible matchmaker. I always try. I'm not very good.

I've been a longtime advocate of farmworker rights.

Meeting people is difficult, period. LA is a difficult place to meet people anyway, and Hollywood is such a small community. But I don't make it a rule just to date other actors and people in the entertainment industry. It could work out with me and a dentist. It could work out with me and a lawyer.

I wasn't going to let a little thing like a hurricane keep me from wearing my bathing suit.

I've always thought of myself as a role model even before being a 'celebrity.' I've always been doing charity work and volunteering in the community since I was 8, so when you do that, I think you just assume that role when you put yourself out there.

I think what I love most about Oprah's brand that I would love to do with the Eva Longoria brand is she has purpose with her brand. Everything she does means something.

Who I am at the core and what I think represents me is really reflected in my family.
