Some of the craziest things Eva has said over the years.

GROWING UP
“Laughter and fun. I really think the greatest medicine for anything is laughter. My family – I think we should be in a loony bin sometimes. But I think that’s what held [us] together. Growing up, you’d think we were the Brady Bunch. We went to Disney World; [we did] everything together.”

SOAP DAYS
“Believe me, it’s very difficult for me. Not that Doug Davidson [Paul] is anything gross. I just hate kissing [on-screen]. I don’t like kissing other people that I don’t have those intimate feelings [for]. To me, kissing is a very, very intimate part of a relationship. I think it’s one of the most intimate gestures you can make and so when I’m doing it with someone I don’t have those feelings for, I get uncomfortable.”

“I was supposed to throw this pencil holder on the side of Christian [Jules Leblanc] so it would look like it hit him, but it didn’t and in the scene — when you’re in it — I was so emotionally involved I threw it right at him and all the pencils hit Christian. I thought, ‘Oh my God I just took his eye out’ and I kept going because I didn’t want to stop because they would have to redo everything and then at the end I was like, ‘Oh my God, are you OK?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, I’m fine.’ I didn’t mean to throw it at him! It’s just that’s what you’d do in life — you aim. We were hysterical. He said ‘I was really scared. I was going to run away.’”

“Some soap actresses can turn it on like a faucet. Oh, Melody Thomas Scott, she’s an amazing crier. She’s like, ‘What eye do you want it out of?’ But I didn’t have that, and I would fear scenes that called for it.” (on crying on cue during her soap days)

ROMANCE

“Your inner sex goddess would begin with the Brazilian wax. And try dating a younger man – that’s worked for me!”

“Missionary! I love the closeness of missionary, because I love kissing.” (on her favorite bed position)

“I need constant attention and affection. I’m a huge fan of PDA. One guy I was dating, he was always like, ‘Jesus Christ, you’re suffocating me!’ Because I was constantly kissing him. But I think it’s great. I want to be making out at the dinner table and making the people around us uncomfortable. Ha, ha, ha.”

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

“Teri Hatcher was naked…Marcia Cross is gonna be in panties and a bra. Nicollette [Sheridan]‘s always in panties and a bra. So I’m not the lone lingerie-wearer.”

MISCELLANEOUS

“My only real requirement was that the house be very livable. I wanted people to be able to put their feet on the couch and on the coffee table. I wanted the kitchen to be big enough for eight women to be in there cooking. It’s a modern Mexican house. Every room is a different color – very lively and personable. I don’t want things you can’t touch. If it breaks because you look at it, I want it out.”

“The only flaw in my house is that I am very little, and so Robert hung everything very low. Tony is 6 feet, 8 inches and he and his basketball friends hit their heads on every light fixture in the house. I mean, wham, right in the head from a hanging light. And Tony just laughs and in his French accent he says, ‘Robert, you did not remember that she dates a basketball player.’”

“The other turning point for me as a woman was when I got married and divorced. That made me wake up one day and say, ‘You’ve got to grow up.’ I was very selfish in my marriage and really didn’t understand the sacrament of marriage or take responsibility for what it meant. I just kind of threw it away, because I wasn’t ready or mature enough for the responsibility.”

“I think funny men are the sexiest people alive. If a guy doesn’t make me laugh then there’s nothing.”

“He plays by nobody’s rule and I love that.” (on her crush Johnny Depp)

“There are designers I don’t wear. They were so mean to me when I was a nobody. Now everybody’s sending stuff.”

“My boobs are small, but…I have no desire to tamper with that. I like working out and that’s hard to do when you’ve got big ones bouncing around!”
