Eva Longoria Quotations | Page 2

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 do want to have a family at some point. I also want to adopt. I don't feel pressure to have kids because I know that there are so many out there.

I am treated no different than the other girls.

I believe, as they say, that you can't be what you don't see, and since I saw a lot of smart women in my life, education being at the center, I just mimicked that behavior.

I am honored to be here as co-chair of President Obama's re-election campaign.

You don't need to know who I'm dating. You don't need to know what I'm doing. I'm fine with everybody not knowing that.

I've always been business-minded. I worked in corporate America before becoming an actress and knew that acting wasn't the end but a means to an end. It gave me the platform and the exposure I needed to do my philanthropic work. It also gave me the financial security to focus on my other businesses, start new businesses, and even help other people start businesses.

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

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.

I actually love fish and vegetables. I was raised on vegetables! Anything green - spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts - I crave.

For me, as far as skin, I'm a big advocate of facials. And I moisturize. And I read my magazines. I listen to good advice from people who really know, and I try to watch what I eat.

I'm naturally athletic. I've been involved in sports since I could walk. So, for me to be sedentary is just unacceptable. Not only is it great for your physical body, but it gives me more energy during the day if I've worked out. I feel better. I look better.

You can't walk two steps without seeing a pregnant teen.

I'm not a fan of capris. They actually shorten my legs.

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

Growing another life inside of you is one of the strangest, but most amazing feelings anyone can have.

Little Boy's performance is authentic, natural, moving & inspiring.

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.

My grandma has never been impressed with the TV show [Desperate Housewives]. She was so angry because I was on television kissing a boy naked; she's very traditional. She said: "If I ever see you kissing that boy again...".

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.

It was heartbreaking . . . I think it was disappointing because I had such an identity in being 'Mrs. Parker', and being a wife, and so when that's taken away from you, you [think], 'Who am I?

I was a tomboy and any time anyone says something about me being hot, it makes me giggle.

When I was at the interview asked how I cope with life's difficulties, I said that saving sense of humor. I'm not lying ...

I do not regret getting married nor do I regret getting divorced.

I still can't understand why anyone cares about what I do or what I say.

I've always been confident with who I was, but my twenties were hard. I had to learn a lot of life lessons and I think my thirties will be a little easier because of all the wrong turns I took.

I've been studying the Constitution for myself but also as a way for me, as a Democrat, to comprehend the Right. I think it's important that people who are politically active understand both sides.

So many people want me to hate him and destroy him, but I don't want to. I want him to be happy. He's not a bad person.

I'm not going to stop going to the supermarket just because the paparazzi follow me. I love to cook and a cook needs her ingredients!

Even though I am very tied to and close to my heritage, I learned Spanish in college; I didn't grow up with it. Growing up in South Texas is different from Miami or L.A. where it is a necessity to speak Spanish.

Anytime there is Mexican food around, you can bet I’ll be eating it,

When I want to reward myself I get a relaxing massage.

People will always be interested in relationships, infidelity and sex and everything connected to things in their own lives.

I guess we have the press to thank for pushing us to see something we didn't see!

As a woman, you feel like you can change the person, but I don't think that's the way it works.

I've always seen actresses who constantly date their leading men or somebody they co-star with, and I've been the opposite. Once I act with you, I feel like you're my brother.

I'm a cook, and I'm like, "a dash of this, a pinch of that." I cook with a lot of passion and instinct. So that's the hardest thing - to put an actual recipe together.

Michelle Obama is going to be an amazing First Lady: She's intelligent, capable and motivated. She just embodies everything that an American woman should represent.

She is a 13-year-old girl who shares Amanda's name, and politely explained that she could not give up the website. Why? Because the younger Amanda plans to be president of the United States, and she's going to need the website for her campaign.

I'm very literate on policy. I'm very literate on the issues, and I'm an American first. I've been involved in politics long before I was an actress. I just happen to have a platform now. I just happen to have a voice.

Every woman should try a Brazilian wax once. And then the sex they have afterward will make them keep coming back!

I do believe in forgiving and forgetting. There was a reason we were together. I just want to hold on to the good times.

When people think of diversity, they think people of color, but it also means women, who are severely underrepresented as directors, writers and producers.

I just want to believe in a higher power. That's a good way to live.

I never thought of myself as a sex symbol. I just do the cover of magazines. I think it’s really unfair men or people in the world think you can’t be both – you can’t be a sex symbol and a serious businessperson. Who says I can’t be both? Who says I can’t do the cover of Maxim and run a production company? Women are complex. Women are beautiful and intellectual and spiritual and social and entrepreneurial. They’re everything. And I think I’m a great example of that.

I'm very efficient and the people who work with me always say that - they know when they have a day with me it's going to be really exhausting because I love to fit as much in as possible.

So many people complain that there aren't enough Latinos on television, and yet when they are, they need support.

I'm really a very fifties housewife.

I'm Latina. I was born with high heels. We crossed border in high heels. We were running from immigration...I can do aerobics in heels.

Beauty lies mainly, above all, in personality, not in the skin.

I've lost a lot of jobs because I was too pretty. And everybody's like "Oh, poor you." But seriously, you don't get the good roles when you're beautiful.

Get a Brazilian wax. It makes sex better, orgasmwise.

I just came into my own sexuality at thirty. I don't think it's something you can deeply experience at 18 or any time before that.

I've been a longtime advocate of farmworker rights.

I like being small - I've known so many women with big boobs who feel overweight or end up with back problems.

The best sex I have ever had was with my vibrator.

The Latina spirit translates to every aspect of our lives, from beauty to work to family. We're loving, we're loud, and we're beautiful in our essence.

I think sometimes women are stuck in a type. I've never dated the same type. I fall in love with personalities, and they come in different packages.

My mother gave me one piece of advice that stuck with me. She said don't forget where you came from.

How I'm the experienced one because I've been married, divorced, I've been in several long-term relationships.

You can't have a relationship when you're shooting a 14-hour day and your husband is shooting a 14-hour day in the same city. It's a time thing and it's a together thing.
