Eva Mendes Talks Drugs and Rehab
By Allie | July 7, 2008
The always candid Eva Mendes opens up about her recent rehab stint at Utah’s Cirque Lodge in the new issue of Interview magazine.
Eva on rehab:
“I”m not angry. I’m proud of people who have the determination and the fearlessness to actually go and face their demons and get better. This is a life or death situation.”
Eva on racism in the entertainment industry:
“What makes it frustrating is when a director or a studio head doesn’t see me for the same part that they’ll see, let’s say, Drew Barrymore for. Drew’s a great friend of mine. But it’s like, ‘No, we want more of an American type of girl.’ And it’s like, America has opened up. I’m an American girl, born and raised.”
Eva on whether she finds being Latin in Hollywood a challenge:
“I would never call it a challenge. I think being a woman in Hollywood is a big enough challenge. It really is, man. I don’t want to be one of those people who complain. But the lack of roles out there–it’s unbelievable. I read a lot of scripts. I believe you’ve got to read one that you know you’re not going to do, because you’ve got to educate yourself on what’s out there to make the best decision for you. So it’s challenging being a woman. Then there are other kinds of obstacles that come your way, but there are many times that being Latin has actually helped me, being a Cuban-American has helped me.”
