When people call me a sex icon, it's flattering but it never goes to my head because I never felt sexy as a teenager.

I'm super careful with my skin and make sure to protect it. I always sit under an umbrella. And I'm a sunblock bully. If you're on the beach with me, I will spray you down with SPF 50-plus.

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.

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

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

I find it a turnoff whenever men aren't into some kind of sport. And, no, video games don't count. I dated a guy who was into video games, and I wanted to shoot myself.

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.
