Jessica Alba Talks Feeling Dumb

Jessica Alba recently sat down for an interview with Self Magazine, where she talked about how she only began to feel smart after having children. The magazine quotes her as follows:

"For a long time, I didn’t think I was smart. I felt like an imposter. It’s not until you feel whole in yourself that you fit in anywhere. And it took me becoming a mom to actually feel that way. I’ve always been business-minded. I approached Hollywood like a business … I was very calculated. I wanted to be treated like a guy; I wanted to put asses in seats. I saved my money, invested wisely, and marketed myself. I’ve been building my own personal brand over time."

On coming up with the idea for The Honest Company when pregnant:
"I was horrified by the realities around the use of chemicals, and also the link that these chemicals have to a lot of illnesses, from obesity to lung disease to cancer, allergies, eczema — all of it … I was bringing this little person into this world and I thought, I want her to be healthy.”
