Jessica Alba seems to be on the cover of just about every magazine these days promoting her film, The Eye, and talking about becoming a new mom later this year. She is featured on the March issue of Marie Claire talking about being a role model, being bullied, and expecting her first baby.Some highlights from the article:
On being a role model for young women:
"When I was a little girl, I always wanted someone to look up to. I think identity was a big deal to me because I didn't fit in with one certain race. I always wanted someone who looked like me, who was a positive role model."
On being bullied in school:
"I had a lot of haters. They'd unzip my backpack so my books would fall out. They'd tie my shoes together. They'd 'accidentally' spill lunches on me."
On Hollywood's perception of women:
"There's a lot of pressure on women to fulfill certain fantasies. They expect you to be a little bit of a tart, to flirt with all the men. A lot of women do it. But I'm not doing that. I talk with these guys about their wives and kids right away. When they say inappropriate things, I let them, because boys will be boys, but I'm not looking to participate in their conversations."
