Jessica Alba for GQ UK August 2014

On her body: "I have to enhance what I like about my body and my stomach is good. My legs I'm not as excited about all the time, but I wouldn't cover up my stomach. That's what women do. Enhance what we've got."

On what men should never do in the summer: "Wear clothes that are too tight. Bathing suits that are too tight and small T-shirts, and I'm not a fan of studs or tattoo prints on T-shirts or trousers. I like a skinny jean, but I just think tight board shorts are weird."

On her role in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.: "There's more of me and I do more than I did in the first one. I have a bit more of a character arc in this one. There's more dancing, but the dancing's really connected to the story. Nancy's a bit of an alcoholic and a bit of a mess and she's depressed and angry. The dances in the movie reflects where she's at."

On how she's changed since the last Sin City film: "I feel much more grounded, much more comfortable, much more saucy. Then I was a girl, I was timid, I was afraid, I was so insecure and now I'm a woman and it's different… I'm more uninhibited."
