London, Jan 25

Actress Eva Mendes says she is driven by her work and hates taking holidays because they disrupt her plan to "rule the world".

The 36-year-old actress -- who is in a relationship with filmmaker George Gargurevich -- never rushes into making a decision and insists that everything she does is designed to take her a step forward in her life plan.

"World domination is my goal. There's always a method to my madness -- people see me as a completely random type, but I'm actually incredibly calculating when it comes to my career," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

"If I do topless Calvin Klein ads, it's because I've realised it's time to turn up the heat in terms of my sexuality. Nothing I do is casual; it's all methodical.

"I'm just not sure what my method is. All I know is that it's part of a master plan for me to rule the world. I will accept nothing less. I don't want to go anywhere but there. That's my true destination."
