More quotes by Salma Hayek
I don't want to be size zero and I'm glad I'm not.
Salma Hayek
In fighting for women, we fight for humanity. We fight for the future - for everyone.
Salma Hayek
When you are passionate about life, it keeps you young. Sometimes I wake up at 4:00 am just to see how my roses look.
Salma Hayek
I've never had anything done on my face. I've never had dermabrasion or peels or injections of any kind, nothing.
Salma Hayek
I love to cook for my husband and daughter. I enjoy going to the market for fresh vegetables.
Salma Hayek
I think if I was not in love, I would probably let myself go faster. Love gives me the vanity to continue.
Salma Hayek
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
I think I'm very good at adjusting to anything and to any situation, and if you are good at being in the moment and adjusting, you can actually have a clear vision of what to do with things or how to do things.
Salma Hayek
I'm a bit of an abstract figure that people can project their fantasies on it's pretty much what we all are, otherwise we wouldn't be stars, and people wouldn't be interested. But people project things on you that have nothing to do with what you really are, or they see a little something and then exaggerate it. And you can't really control that.
Salma Hayek
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
You know Latin people? African-American people? How our skin ages more slowly? Even though we're dramatic, we move our faces, we eat higher-fat foods, we're the ones with fewer wrinkles - it makes you wonder.
Salma Hayek
When it is important for you to say something and you find a vehicle to say it, then go for it. It is so rare when that happens so I think every minute spent fighting for it is always worth it. Even if nothing ends up happening, it's still worth the fight.
Salma Hayek
It doesnt matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith.
Salma Hayek
What once was an expression of who I was - acting - also became my hiding place.
Salma Hayek
I have always been an active part of my community.
Salma Hayek
I think it's nice for women to try to be sexy for their man.
Salma Hayek
I grew up in Mexico, not the U.S., and the fact is that there just aren't any parts for Latin actresses. I have to persuade people that my accent won't be a problem, but an asset.
Salma Hayek
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.'
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
Try to figure out who you really are and not who you want other people to think you are.
