Sofia Vergara covers the new issue of Cosmopolitan, probably to promote some of her side projects, like her K-mart line of jewelry or her Pepsi endorsement or something. I know that there’s been an undercurrent of Sofia-backlash lately – mostly to do with her weird fiancé Nick Loeb, maybe? – but I still like her. And I thought her Cosmo interview was interesting – she talks about being a single mother and dating, and how she would never bring the guys to her house (with her son) before she got with Nick Loeb. She also says the great line, “But I am going to be working my whole life. I love making money.” I wish more women would say that!

On setting a wedding date with fiancé Nick Loeb:
“He was already married with a big wedding and I was already married with a big wedding, so we’re going to something but not right now. When he proposed, it was my birthday, and I’d flown more than 100 family and friends to Mexico for six days of partying. It took me forever to arrange the logistics! If I had known I was going to get engaged, I don’t do this stupid birthday.”

On rumors that she and Nick were about to become parents via a surrogate:
“Well, because I froze my eggs. I had to go to my doctor’s office a hundred million times to do injections. The [rumor] probably came from that. My doctor had told me ‘We have a small window.’ I said, ‘That’s so rude!’ I already have a kid, so I never thought I would need to do that. But I will have to use a surrogate, because I had thyroid cancer and lots of radiation. I don’t want to wait forever, but not yet, because I’m working like an animal.”

On whether she’s high-maintenance in bed:
“No one can be a sex kitten every day, and anyone who tells you that is lying. But I do wear negligees and Japanese silk robes. For a long time, I lived along with my son and only saw my boyfriends in a hotel. So at home, I slept in old tee shirts. I realized when I moved in with Nick that I couldn’t do that. Now, I only keep nice pajamas around, because whatever is there, I’m going to wear.”

On the exact moment she said to herself, I’ve made it!
“In my 20s, I was already known in the Latina market. When I moved to L.A., I used to go to this club. At the end of the night, everybody would come outside to get their cars. I would be next to Leonardo Dicaprio and Justin Timberlake and my car was always right out in front! Nobody knew who I was, but the valets knew because they were Latin. But I haven’t been at this level until now. I’m greedy. I want to take advantage of my 15 minutes.”

On how her style has evolved:
“I have learned that not everything looks good on me because of my boobs. Magazines will say, ‘She is wearing the same shape again.’ I’m like, yes! So what? My boobs are real. They’re a 32F. I can’t wear something backless, because what holds them up? Then the magazines would be saying, ‘What was she thinking with those sagging t-ts?’”

On a five-year plan:
“I’ve never had a plan for anything. I know I’m not going to get any more shows like Modern Family. If it ends in five years, it would be great to do movies and focus on things like my Kmart line. Maybe have a kid. But I am going to be working my whole life. I love making money. I really love it!”

I don’t understand why she feels like she can’t still wear old t-shirts to bed? I mean, sure, have some cute negligees and silk pajamas and everything, but sometimes you just want to put on your battered oversized t-shirt and curl up and sleep. I also cosign her “wearing the same kind of dress all the time” thing – she knows what flatters her body, and truly, she couldn’t wear many of the designs that are popular these days. So many designs are built for women with Claire Danes’ body, not Sofia’s.
