More quotes by Salma Hayek

Image
I love to cook when I have the time. I don't cook French or Mexican food with exact recipes. I just go to the supermarket and buy things that look good, and I mix it all together and invent something. Ninety-five percent of the time, I'm lucky. Sometimes not so lucky, and I say, 'Let's go out to dinner.'

Image
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
Image
People always underestimate me. But if you stick around long enough, act out of conviction, and try to be honorable in everything you do, good things will come to you.
Salma Hayek
Image
Try to figure out who you really are and not who you want other people to think you are.

I said, 'I'm going to the United States to study with Stella Adler and do movies because nobody here has done it and my passion is films.' But I came here and I didn't speak English, I didn't have a green card, I didn't know I had to have an agent, I couldn't drive, I was dyslexic.

No surgical tweaks. No Botox either. I think it is terrible, these girls in their late 20s injecting their faces and lips. One told me, If I kill my muscles now, I'll never get wrinkles. Can you imagine?

I love to cook for my husband and daughter. I enjoy going to the market for fresh vegetables.
Salma Hayek
Image
I think it's not a femme fatale when someone is not doing it to manipulate men or be like a black widow. She loves him. She does it out of love. She wants him so badly to stay with her.
Salma Hayek
Image
If you give me any problem in America I can trace it down to domestic violence. It is the cradle of most of the problems, economic, psychological, educational.
Salma Hayek
Image
I have always been an active part of my community.

In fighting for women, we fight for humanity. We fight for the future - for everyone.

I directed a movie and now, I'm going to do the editing.

When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort, but I don't like to diet and I'm not good at it.
Salma Hayek
Image
Before I had my child, animals were my life. I slept with four dogs in my bed.
Salma Hayek
Image
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.

I don't want to be size zero and I'm glad I'm not.
Salma Hayek
Image
If I go on a diet and work out, I'm always in a bad mood. I'd rather be a little heavier but nice.
Salma Hayek
Image
I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder.
Salma Hayek
Image
Botox, trust me I've been tempted - but I resist! Think about what happens to your muscles - and your skin - if you're sick and don't move for a few days.
Salma Hayek
Image
The truth is, I just don't have the drive to be the prettiest and the thinnest. I can be happy for other people for their beauty.
