It's not a party unless I'm cooking. Some people find entertaining stressful, but it is therapeutic for me; I find it relaxing.

My acting is still being recognized for the fact that I wasn't nominated.

My worst habit in the kitchen is not allowing anybody to help me. I like to cook by myself.

On a television show, you basically make a movie a week. Movies take three months - it's crazy. They're so slow, it's like vacation to me.

Politics need to stop treating women as a special-interest group.

So, I'm the Eighth Wonder of the World. It's flattering and very, very funny.

The Eva Longoria who worked at Wendy's flipping burgers - she needed a tax break. But the Eva Longoria who works on movie sets does not.

There's no amount of money that would make me decide something for a career.

To be with the same person for the rest of your life just sounds so drab.

We know what we need to do. Let's re-elect President Obama!

When you're fighting for social justice, one of my biggest pet peeves is speaking out of ignorance.

Who I am at the core and what I think represents me is really reflected in my family.

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.

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.

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 could never give up Mexican food. Nachos are usually my go-to if I'm courtside at an NBA game. I always, always get my picture taken with my mouth wide open and a tortilla chip sticking out of it!

I didn't really blossom until my mid teens, and by that time I had to work on my personality to make people like me. I found it easy to make people laugh and I was always pretty popular.

I do like British guys. If I had to pick one it would be Ewan McGregor. I met him once and he was gorgeous, even if he is a little short. He has the most amazing charisma.

I don't regret anything I do, ever, whether articles I've done or things I've said. And as far as what's happened in the past, I wouldn't take anything back.

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.
