It's flattering that people think I'm sexy, but it's not the end-all, be-all. The minute I put my self-esteem on what they think I am, I'm screwed, because one day they're not going to think I'm sexy.
Eva MendesBeing sexy is just one component. It's not a thing I am. It's a thing I can be. It's a side of myself I can tap into, just like I can tap into my funny side, my quirky side or my dramatic side. It's not what I am.
Eva MendesWhat's interesting is that my style is a lot crazier than what I project out there. It's a lot edgier.
Eva MendesI know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol.
Eva MendesIโm actually taking advantage of my time off. You know, I had a film that was pushed, so Iโm home spending time with my family, going to the gym and actually enjoying taking care of myselfโฆThis year has been great for me because Iโve learned how to relax. The last three years have been amazing but kind of crazy. So I donโt know, I feel grounded. I feel really good.
