In her interview with the magazine [4], Eva opened up about important issues like gender equality and the election, but she also took the time to weigh in on things like social media, her fitness routine, and her past. Keep reading for a sneak peek at what she had to say, then admire Eva's best outfits so far this year [5].

• On society's gender bias: "There's a reason we haven't had a female president in our history. There is a gender bias in politics, in the workplace, and in the society — and to say there's not is very naïve. I don't have a problem telling people if something's not quite right, or course-correcting — but it has to be done in the right way. I'm cooperative, respectful, and very honest. Just because I'm a boss lady doesn't mean I have to be a b*tch. In my head, I was always a director and producer — it's in my nature to be in charge."
• On what Hillary Clinton has taught her: "I learned this from Hillary Clinton: Take criticism seriously, but not personally. Whether it's that someone doesn't like a piece of clothing I design, or my acting, or my restaurant, it's important to hear the complaint."
• On social media: "I'm glad that there was no Twitter or Instagram when Housewives started, for sure. It was definitely a different world back then. Social media can be overwhelming. I don't really have rules for myself — it's just common sense. I have a very private husband, so I don't really post with him, and of course I don't post the kids for security reasons. But I share a lot, and I use it for charity and my clothing line. It's a great tool when used correctly."
• On her past relationships: "I think every relationship is a path to where you are today. Every wrong turn led you to the spot where you are, so it wasn't necessarily the wrong turn at the time. I wouldn't change anything — never."
• On how she stays so fit: "There's no secret formula — diet and exercise take work. I've always had a good metabolism, but at some point, everyone's stops. For me, it was at around 35. You eat a bowl of pasta, and you're like, 'Oh, this doesn't just go away anymore.'"
