I know the only reason that I haven't gotten many good parts is because I am Latin - and they tell it to my face a lot of times.

More quotes by Salma Hayek
Life is tough and if you have the ability to laugh at it, you have the ability to enjoy it.
Salma Hayek
People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
Salma Hayek
Everybody has a weakness. Mine is food.
Salma Hayek
If you look at any other group of people suffering injustice, women are always in the worst situation within that group.
Salma Hayek
I want my little girl to tell me who she is so I can encourage her and not impose my desires for her on her life. I want her to dream big and to know that if she is willing to earn it, she can have anything - and become anything.
Salma Hayek
~When Valentina was not even 1 month old, my aunt [gave me the best advice]: 'Put her to sleep yourself every night. Sing to her and cradle her in your arms and sit by her side - every night. Because one day you won't be able to, and it's going to happen really fast.~
Salma Hayek
I believe that change keeps you young.
Salma Hayek
Life, I've got lots of friends. I don't complain.
Salma Hayek
If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you’re in a good place and you’re in a bad place at the same time. You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse.
Salma Hayek
There were many times when I had to emotionally come to terms with the fact that maybe I wasn't ever going to get married. And I started getting comfortable with that.
Salma Hayek
Art and activism seem to go together naturally, the idea being that if you're an entertainer, you can have a voice, and if you have a voice, you can make a difference. But if I were not an actress, I would still try to extend myself beyond my little micro-universe of my job, family and personal joy.
Salma Hayek
My accent was horrible. In Mexico, nobody says, 'You speak English with a good accent.' You either speak English, or you don't: As long as you can communicate, no one cares.
Salma Hayek
I like being a mother. For some people, it's so much work that it can be a burden. But it's not for me, maybe because I had my daughter, Valentina, later on in life, at 41.
Salma Hayek
The thought of somebody pulling and cutting around my face gives me stomach ache. Plastic surgery would be so painful. What if it doesn't look good? What if they made a mistake? I couldn't do it.
Salma Hayek
I've stolen a couple of hearts and they are in my private collection!
Salma Hayek
You can be a thousand different women. It's your choice which one you want to be. It's about freedom and sovereignty. You celebrate who you are. You say, 'This is my kingdom.'
Salma Hayek
I can learn my lines fine. It’s just reading them in the first place that is the problem.
Salma Hayek
I'm not a skinny girl. I push it. I'm at the limit of chubbiness at all times, but I'm happy at all times.
Salma Hayek
I believe eating well, and with people you love, is about feeding your body, heart, and soul - I used juicing to ensure I covered my nutritional bases every day, and as a tool to restore inner balance if my body needed a break from too much indulgence.
Salma Hayek
Hollywood has definitely grown, in embracing the inclusion of Latinos in the world, because, for some time, we didn't exist. We were not part of any stories.
