We’ll be seeing a lot more of actress and sexy mother of two Jessica Alba on the big screen. The beauty just recently wrapped up filming the action-comedy Barely Lethal, amongst several other films slated to hit theaters this year – but her first stop is the cover of the March Issue of NYLON Magazine.

Staying true to her style, Jessica is featured in the magazine wearing designer pieces from Emilio Pucci, Chanel and Derek Lam, to name a few. She also gives NYLON exclusive dish on her new approach to acting and what she’s learned along the way.

Check out excerpts from her interview below:

On her new approach to acting:

“I’ve played a lot of leading-lady types; they were sweet, aspirational, not terribly complicated people. I need to make sure I had staying power, so I went after tentpole movies that were going to be big and global. I really just want to work with directors who I think are cool, and on movies that I think are fun and characters that I think are interesting, whether that’s an indie or a big movie.”

On what new skills she’s learned:

“I know how to ride a motorcycle, I can do wire work like you see in the circuses. I can shoot a gun. I know how to fight, too.”

On her love for acting:

“It’s been liberating to be able to play someone who’s a badass or promiscuous because that’s the opposite of who I am…It’s like a drug,”
