• Notes

  "I don't really pay attention to all that. It's only when people start to treat me like one that it really freaks me out."---Jessica Alba, on the notion of being a sex symbol, to Parade magazine, June 2007.
  "I have to go to certain lengths to use sexuality to my advantage while guiding people to think the way I want them to."---Alba to Movieline's Hollywood Life, September/October 2005.
  "Jessica has a dark side to her personality," says Rodriguez. "She's kind of qu

  iet and mysterious, but when she does a performance she's great at making it accessible."---Director Robert Rodriguez on Alba, to GQ, April 2005.
  "There are always people at the studios; these small-minded guys in suits, who try to tell you who you are and what you can do," she says. "I don't take it personally. I understand that's just the way Hollywood is. The only thing I can do is work my ass off to prove that I'm capable of more. That's what I've been doing so far, I haven't really had a chance yet to express myself creatively in my movies. Mostly, I've just been hustling."---Alba to Entertainment Weekly, June 28, 2006.
