Eva Mendes wants to rule the world
The 36-year-old actress - who is in a relationship with filmmaker George Gargurevich - never rushes into making a decision and insists that everything she does is designed to take her a step forward in her life plan.
She explained: "World domination is my goal. There`s always a method to my madness - people see me as a completely random type, but I`m actually incredibly calculating when it comes to my career.
"If I do topless Calvin Klein ads, it`s because I`ve realised it`s time to turn up the heat in terms of my sexuality. Nothing I do is casual; it`s all methodical.
"I`m just not sure what my method is. All I know is that it`s part of a master plan for me to rule the world. I will accept nothing less. I don`t want to go anywhere but there. That`s my true destination."
Eva is so dedicated to her career and getting ahead, she admits she can`t bear to take holidays because she hates having a break and she refuses to reflect on any past decisions she has made.
She told Live magazine: "Never look behind you - that`s the best bit of advice I ever received, and it came from my athletics coach in high school. He made me realise that if I did glance behind me when running, even that millisecond of distraction could lose me the race. Since then I`ve lived my life never looking back.
"Living that way probably means I`m not as reflective as some people. I`m not saying I`m doing it right; it`s a very intense way to live.
"There are times when I wish I had more reflective moments. For instance, I`m incapable of taking a holiday - and I haven`t had one for years. I`m incapable of sitting on a beach for a week. I just don`t do it. I`m too driven. What I need is an English country house where I can busy myself all day making jam and scones."
