Jessica Alba Covers ‘Lucky’ September 2011

Jessica Alba wears Marc Jacobs as she graces the cover of Lucky magazine’s September 2011 issue, on newsstands Tuesday (August 9).

Here’s what the 30-year-old Spy Kids 4 and new-mama-to-be had to share:

On playing superheroes: “I pretended to be a superhero when I was a kid. I thought, if boys can do it, I can do it, I can do it better!”

On being strong-willed: “There’s a video of me when I’m three, saying ‘This is a woman’s world, and I don’t need a man for nothin’!’”

On her first big audition: “We all went out for it – my mom, my auntie, her four kids, my auntie’s boyfriend, my brother and I all sardined inside our Buick Regal. That’s how we rolled back then.” Once there, she was asked to list any acting experience. “I lied and said I done plays. My mom definitely taught me how to hustle.”
