Jessica Alba, Talking About Her Looks Once Again

Why must Jessica Alba ALWAYS talk about/whine about her looks? Is she competing with Evangeline Lilly for a world record or something? Now she’s talking to Parade magazine about being a ‘sex symbol’, “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. Most days I wake up and look in the mirror and go, ‘ugh.’ I don’t really think I look all that great.” Oh wow, she has bad day’s too? She’s just like us, and oh so human! More enlightening quote:

On always wanting to be an actress:
“I had a lot of tenacity from a very young age. I was pretty clear on what I wanted to do with my life – I wanted to act. My dad was like, ‘When are you going to go to regular school? When are you going to get a job?’ It wasn’t until my dad visited the set [of her television series Dark Angel] and saw how hard I worked that he understood.”

On working in a man’s world:
“I’m in a business that’s completely driven by white males. The majority of writers and directors are men. And even though I’m not, like, such a huge feminist, I do want to produce movies on my own that are female-driven and empowering to women. Variety is good. The woman’s voice really isn’t present in Hollywood.”

On the future:
“This year, for once in my life, I hope I’ll have the power to start doing what I really want to do. Maybe people will kind of see me for who I am instead of just basing their opinion on some paparazzi’s pictures of me taken on the beach.”

On the paparazzi:
“I could give two s***s about them. They’re so lame, I can’t even believe that’s a real job. I can’t imagine they even pay taxes.” I bet she’ll care when they’re NOT taking her picture!
