Actress Eva Mendes was born March 5, 1974 in Miami, Florida.

• "The celebrity world can be so ugly. Everyone seems to have slept with everyone else and it's some sort of strange weird cycle. I don't want to get into that."




• "I feel I'll take on the responsibility of showing the world a whole different kind of Latin woman."




• "I wanted to go into art history. Acting fell into my lap when a neighbor took pictures of me and showed them to an agent."




• "Women now, we can juggle a lot of things. We're not just girlfriends or love interests. So that's really great to not just make her the chick and give her something to do."




• "It's fun to flirt and wear makeup and have boobs."




• "I´m in this business for the work. I love being an actress. I love learning and challenging myself every day. I didn´t do this to get the VIP treatment at a great party."




• "My best feature is my big hips. I've got some nice childbearing hips, and I feel very proud of them. When I was younger I thought they were too big. I wanted to be slimmer. But now I totally embrace them."




• "Whether you hate me or love me, I'm different. I'm not your average chick."




• "Latin is the new flavor of the month, and it's now more acceptable, by Hollywood standards, to pair a Latin woman and a black male. I do not agree with this, but in Hollywood logic, to pair a black woman and a black male makes a black movie."
