London: `Ghost Rider` actress Eva Mendes says she wanted to be a nun since childhood, but gave up her dream after realising that nuns didn`t get paid.
"We grew up, not in a poor, poor family, but lower-middle class - a lot of bills and my mother was always stressing about money and stuff. And I would promise her, `Mum, I`m gonna buy you a house and pay all your bills one day`.
"My older sister... said, `How you gonna do all this? Don`t you know nuns don`t get paid?` And I was like, `What?`" the actress has been quoted as saying by contactmusic.com.
Mendes, otherwise, felt a convent career would have been perfect for her.
