Eva Mendes is a household name in Hollywood, beloved for her timeless beauty and undeniable talent as an actress. Recently, the star sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss a variety of topics, from motherhood to her recent involvement with Skura Style, a sustainable cleaning product company. Here's what she had to say:

First and foremost, Mendes opened up about the joys and challenges of parenthood. The actress is a mother to two daughters with her partner, Ryan Gosling. Mendes shared that one of the most important life lessons she hopes to impart on her girls is the value of hard work. "I really want to empower my girls to work hard and not expect anything to be handed to them," she explained.

In addition to her family life, Mendes has been pursuing some exciting ventures outside of the entertainment industry. She recently invested in Skura Style, a company that produces reusable cleaning cloths. Mendes was drawn to the company's commitment to sustainability and reducing waste. "The fact that these cloths can be reused and don't contribute to the plastic waste problem we're facing was really important to me," she said.

Of course, Mendes is no stranger to the entertainment industry, and fans are always eager to hear if she has any upcoming projects. When asked if she plans on taking on any more Hollywood roles, Mendes was coy but optimistic. "I never say never," she teased. "I'm always open to opportunities that come my way."

In the meantime, Mendes has been keeping busy with some unexpected projects, including a recent cameo on the beloved Australian children's show Bluey. Mendes voiced a character named Calypso in an episode of the show's second season. "I love Bluey," she gushed. "It was such a fun opportunity to be a part of that world for a little bit."

Finally, Mendes touched on her eponymous fashion line, which she launched in collaboration with New York & Company in 2013. The actress recently expanded her line to include a collection of Sponge Seal activewear, and Mendes couldn't be more excited. "I really wanted to create activewear that was comfortable and flattering for all body types," she explained. "I'm so proud of this new collection and I can't wait to see people wearing it."

All in all, it sounds like Eva Mendes has been keeping busy with a variety of exciting projects. From motherhood to entrepreneurship to entertainment, Mendes continues to prove that she's a force to be reckoned with.
