“I’ve been getting my makeup done professionally since I was 12, I’ve never found a brand that could create that glowing look and flawless finish we all want from beauty products with ingredients that were effective and safe. So I had to create it.”

My mind is constantly in five different places, but golf is great because it forces you to focus completely and purely on what you’re doing.

The time I’m not spending with my kid has to be worth it, so when I sat down with my agents after I was ready to go back to work, I told them: It’s all about the directors.

I don’t really have a problem with just wanting sex. Never have. Even when I was a virgin and wanted to marry the first guy who I slept with, I never passed any judgments about that. But now I’m done [with dating around].

I like to cook. I would probably go to culinary school in France if I had time.

Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.

The films I do always have a happy ending. I hope it reflects back to real life.

I actually wanted to be a producer because I like to run things.

Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don’t care about fame, I don’t care about being a celebrity. I know that’s part of the job, but I don’t feed into anyone’s idea of who I should be.

You have to be tenacious, you have to be focused, you have to have a real vision, and be extremely passionate about it.

I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss.

I think that people who don’t like animals tend to be selfish, but I’m biased.

As far as being married and what it means to me… it’s nice knowing that I have a partner in life and that someone’s got my back.

When it comes to diversity, women are still underrepresented in so many different places, but one place we’re not underrepresented is we hold a majority of the household income, and we control that.

I think people couldn’t really put me in [one race]. I wasn’t Mexican, I wasn’t white, I wasn’t black, I wasn’t Asian… I wasn’t anything, and I didn’t really fit into anybody’s group. My dad is Mexican, and my mom is French and Danish.

Some [actors] are really a pain in the ass today. I held out on getting an assistant forever because I didn’t want to seem demanding… or like a pain in the ass. I didn’t want someone working for me to hate me.

I’ve got cousins galore, Mexicans just spread all their seeds and the women just pop them out.
