"When we were in London, we went from music to theatre, from theater to music. We visited all kinds of museums. We went to Windsor Castle. I had planned and carried out a series of activities. And now I feel like it's time to bring back the boredom. I'm bringing back the boredom, especially for the kids, but also for myself. I feel like when we're just sitting around, doing nothing, and without the influence of our phone, iPad, computer or TV, that's when the best ideas come. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's dangerous, and sometimes it's enlightening. I really want this to be our summer of boredom," said Eva Mendes.

"I'm an actress, I design clothes, I do 1,000 things, but the most important thing is when I create memories with them. My mother stayed with me, without working, until I was 8 or 9 years old and those memories are the most beautiful for me", she added.
