The LATINA article, which we mentioned last week, is finally out and we get more bits and pieces about Jessica’s view of the world. Here is a roundup of what Jessica Had to say:
On being low-maintenance:
“I’m not a make-up and hair kind of girl. I don’t really have a brush.”
On her ethnic looks:
“I like that I look different. I like having flavor. I think it’s funny that women get their lips injected and get butt implants. Everyone wants to look like us now.”
On the plastic surgery trend among L.A. women:
“In Beverly Hills there’s a whole race of women that look exactly the same. The cheeks, the lips, the t*ts, the a*s — everything. They’re scary. They’re so skinny.”
On why she doesn’t think she’s sexy:
“Scarlett Johansson is insanely sexy, Jessica Biel is insanely sexy, Angelina Jolie is insanely sexy. So why me? It doesn’t even make sense.”
On claims that she’s cut loose from her Mexican roots:
“I never said that. Cut loose from what? What the hell are they talking about? Why would I want to cut loose from the only family I know?”
On not learning to speak Spanish as a child:
“I wish to God that my dad spoke Spanish to my brother and me, but he didn’t grow up with it.”
On confusing other men for her dad as a kid:
“When I was little, I used to go up to black men and hold their legs, thinking it was my dad all the time. I’d wrap my arms around them, then look up and be like, ‘Oh my God!’”
On being accepted for who she is in Hollywood:
“I was always trying to figure out: How the hell am I going to be mainstream? How are people going to accept me? When are they going to get a clue that I am American, that this is what America looks like — people like me who are mixed, have different blood, mixed with different ethnicities? When are the people who are hiring for these jobs and writing these screenplays going to realize that?”
On the Hollywood double standard:
“No one gives Cameron Diaz a hard time for not speaking Spanish,” says Jessica. “Her dad’s Cuban, and I was telling her I feel so bad because everyone is so nasty to me for not speaking Spanish. She’s like, ‘I don’t speak Spanish! I barely speak English!’ ”
So, Jessica is ‘Brown’ and wishes her baby was just like her… Does she feel guilty for talking bad about her Latin heritage last year?

LOL, black men?? :S...confused, I thought she had other ethnicities but black wasn't included in that...and dad's Mexican too, soooo.... :S, oh well...still not bad as I thought it would have been...the interview. I get what she is saying though about the "beauty" thing though, but she should just shut up about it and don't argue, lol, Well I either agree or see from which point she's coming from throughout the rest of the interview. If she wants a "brown" baby...nothing wrong with it, she isn't exactly white you know, if she want the child to have her complexion and stuff...whatever! ppl have their preferences and hope how and what they baby/child will look like, they may not broadcast it like her, but it doesn't mean they would love the child any less...i'm sure she'll love her child no matter how clear or dark it comes out, or have her features or not.
Never be afraid to Dream...live...love and laugh....Be afraid not to!
1Oh well, whatever makes Jessica A. happy. I like her.
