Eva’s Personal Quotes:
"I grew up as an ugly duckling. They used to call me prieta fea, because I was
the only one of my family's four girls with dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin. Growing up I was the ugly one, because I
was the odd one."
"As soon as I read the script I knew it was pretty special. The creator of the
show asked what I thought of the writing as a whole. I told him I had no idea because I'd only read my part. He laughed and
told me I'd got the job. He thought my answer was completely Gabrielle “on how she got the part as Gabrielle Solis
"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 love being a woman. I love the sexiness we get to exude. But the best thing
about being a woman is the power we have over men."
"I love men, I love being in love and having romantic dates"
"I'm a fabulous date, I make sure I look good, I like hearing what a guy has to
say and I make sure the evening is a real laugh. I like to laugh." On going out on a date.
"I'm a late bloomer, my looks came pretty late and success happened at the age
of 30. But I'm pleased about things not coming to me immediately because it makes you appreciate it when you finally get it"
"I'm definitely no Bridget Jones. I don't believe in that whole 'oh there are no
decent men out there' thing. Get real girls- there are loads of gorgeous guys on every street corner"
"I'm totally blown away by the success of Desperate Housewives."
"It literally did happen overnight" On her success from desperate housewives
"That whole T-Shirt thing was just a bit of a joke. I did it for a laugh. I never

my girlfriends thought was funny." On wearing the 'I'll have your baby Brad' T-Shirt.
"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."
"It would be nice to go out on a date with Brad Pitt but I'm not going to cry about
it. There are plenty of other guys out there."
"I don't agree with all the boundaries we put on everything. Women are forever
discounting men for all sorts of silly reasons - too old, too young, wrong haircut. Give the guy a chance and he may surprise
you. I've definitely been pleasantly surprised by my choices and I've always had plenty of choice."
"Believe me, I would shout it from the highest mountain. I married before when
I was too young and eloped to Vegas. This time I'd love to have an engagement and a big wedding and do it properly." On marrying
again
"Surely there are more beautiful women in the world. I can name 10."
