Eva Longoria Prestige Magazine Cover: 'Devious Maids' Producer Says 'I Never Thought Of Myself As A Sex Symbol'

Eva Longoria is one busy woman and she took some time off recently to take on the cover of Prestige Hong Kong magazine. The 39-year-old actress is looking chic and fab on the March 2014 issue and she revealed some insights into her life. Ever since her breakout "Desperate Housewives" role as Gabrielle Solis, the Latin diva has been categorized as a sex symbol but she doesn't believe she is. "I never thought of myself as a sex symbol. I just do the cover of magazines," she tells the magazine. "I think it’s really unfair men or people in the world think you can’t be both – you can’t be a sex symbol and a serious businessperson. Who says I can’t be both? Who says I can’t do the cover of Maxim and run a production company? Women are complex. Women are beautiful and intellectual and spiritual and social and entrepreneurial. They’re everything. And I think I’m a great example of that."

After the hit ABC show ended, Longoria took on a role as a producer and has found a hit in Lifetime's "Devious Maids." The serious about a group of Latina housekeepers in Beverly Hills got picked up for a second season and will soon start airing. A guest appearance on the show from the producer is not in the cards for the upcoming season according to Eva. So when is she returning? "Not yet. But I’m definitely going to return to television," she said. "I love the medium of television. I love going to the same place every day to work. I love diving into a character. I mean I really miss Gabi [Desperate Housewives]. I really miss the family that we created for eight years. So I’ll definitely be back. I love the idea of giving opportunities to women in the business, so most of the things I’m developing have female leads."

Where does Ms. Longoria find time to manage all of her activities? "I always mix business and pleasure. I went to Paris to shoot for L’Oréal, but of course while I was there I wanted to go to the Louvre," she revealed. "And I was in Mexico at a conference but while I was there I found time to go to the beach. I love cooking. I just flew in yesterday from Mexico City. I ran to two meetings and a conference call in the car – and another conference call while I was grocery shopping – so that I could relax and cook dinner for my family and friends. That to me is just so relaxing." Her frequents visits to Mexico are due to her dating Televisa President Pepe Bastón, whose main office is in Mexico.
