I am inspired by anything beautiful. Sometime it’s a pair of eyes or flowing gorgeous hair, other times it’s the sky or a sunset. I’ve been inspired by supple skin or the texture of a...

I simply wanted to get through college as quickly as humanly possible. I had no interest in extracurricular activities or anything that required me to be social. I was allergic to people.

I went to a girls’ school, and it was awful. The combination of my teenage anger and their jealousy meant I was always getting into fights. There was a lot of pulling of hair and...

I am the only one in my family to graduate college. It was a proud moment for me to receive a degree.

We spend so much of our lives not feeling but doing, doing, doing, and movies remind us that we are human. That life is all the things we see, and yet there is beauty there....

I want to move people, stir something within them that makes them feel. That’s what a movie should do and an actor should do, make you feel something. I think that’s why people love films...

Things aren’t always clear at the beginning of a relationship. Be up-front. Don’t play on her confusion or vulnerability. Women want and appreciate clarity.

I don’t usually like a smoky eye; if there is any smokiness, it’s got to be a light color.

Really hairy backs on men turn me off. I’m not into the ape thing at all. Or beer bellies and flabby arms, either. Also, one random nose hair which is longer than the others… that’s...

I’ve never been driven to just be a celebrity or just get me on TV. Never ever. What’s always driven me is being successful and being good at what I do.

When I die, I want to be buried in a long long-sleeve black Ralph Lauren dress and brown chunky boots. I want my hair styled like his models, long hair that flows. I also want...

I love acting and I have a need to do it, even when the business is down.

Whatever’s missing in your relationship, including a marriage, is what you’re not bringing to it.

When you’re rehearsing, you get really inspired in the beginning, but then it becomes repetitious and you lose the magic. How do you get the magic again? The magic happens when you’re not pushing it.

Hi, I’m Nadine Velazquez, and my green tip is: recycle.

My party trick is that I ask everybody questions. I’m just nosey.

It’s true – women want the fantasy. So give them romance – but without the desperation, wondering, and waiting you see in the movies.

I’ve always exuded some connection to my sexuality even as a kid. So to me, being sexy means staying connected to that part of me.

I want Prince to see something I do and call me and ask me to be on an album or if I want to dance!

I’m very comfortable being naked. It’s one of my favorite things to do.

My first job was a McDonald’s commercial. It made me want to wake up at 4 A.M. to do something I loved. I haven’t been the same since.

I would love to have a drink with Meryl Streep or Prince. Those are my top two people I would love to talk to.

I have started my own foundation. It’s called Follow Your Art. It’s at its infancy but my goal is to mentor teenage girls through one of the most difficult times in their lives.

As a child, I was hyper, I was a clown and I was sensitive. Today I’m all of the above, except I’ve refrained from bouncing off the walls.

My dream role would be to act with Denzel again!

I would love to be a guys’ girl, but they always end up falling in love with me, so I’m a girls’ girl instead. I’ve tried having friendly relationships with men, but it ends up...

I have a scar on my right arm from my ex-husband. He was cooking and he had a hot pot and he turned around and went right into my arm.

I am Puerto Rican. I think Latinas are sexy, and being one, it has influenced a lot of my style, but being an official Los Angelite, this town has influenced most of my daily style,...

I’m a driven person, but I’m also cautious, and I overthink things sometimes.

I’d seen ‘Punky Brewster,’ I’d seen ‘Webster,’ I saw ‘Annie,’ and it was time to either be an orphan or an actress.

I got kicked out of a club for sticking up for my sister. And I got into a fight that was basically hair pulling and rolling around on the gym floor. The fights make me...

Something like ‘The Matrix’ would be ideal, something where it’s super agents and wire work and special effects – not necessarily running from bombs and shooting people. Something more sleek, like an assassin.

I’m attracted to men who just love what they do, have confidence in what they do and have potential to be on their own if they need to be.

I hope to land roles where my presence is carried on throughout the film. I’m looking forward to taking on a role with a complicated backstory and yet someone who refuses to lose sight of...

I like men in suits. Men in suits I think are so sexy. But I love men in suits who own their own businesses. That’s even sexier… I just love a guy who has his...

I have a real taste for doing action roles. I starred in a movie called ‘Blast,’ which was my first action film, and I loved the fighting – I think I’ve got the build, the...
