Jessica Alba

HL: You’ve been a blonde and brunette. Which is better?

JA: I must say people are a lot nicer to me when I’m blonde! But I just could not deal with doing my roots anymore. So… I’m more of a brunette.

HL: Let’s face it: You’re hot. How do other actresses treat you?

JA: A lot of what happens is BS. It’s not that they don’t want to be decent but they are insecure because they feel like every move they make has so much impact. That imprisons them into being self-conscious, over-friendly, and over-dramatic girls. They are uncomfortable in their own skin and they care about stuff like the paparazzi. Of all people Kid Rock gave me the best advice: “If you’ve got a problem with paparazzi, just move to Michigan.”

HL: Have you ever had a “casting couch” experience?

JA: Of course…it’s cheesy. I get that, “Let’s go have dinner and share a couple of bottles of wine” thing, when they are in no way are they offering me a movie. To be honest, from a really crass point of view if I just wanna have sex with someone, I don’t wanna see him in the morning, much less on the set the next day.

HL: Do you believe in monogamy?

JA: In 99.9 percent of relationships, there’s infidelity. Trying to act like infidelity doesn’t exist doesn’t do anybody any good. Personally, I don’t put up with it. I have no reason to.

HL: Finally, how ambitious are you?

JA: I want everything! Like Tom Cruise, worldwide-level fame. I don’t care about being best friends with the “coolest people.” I’ve never been accepted in that crowd, anyway.
