Eva Longoria's Quotes

• [on how she got the role as Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives (2004)] 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.
• 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 love learning, I'm like a sponge.
• [on going out on a date] 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.
