So you have to keep waiting and then they give you the script and it's terrible. Then you have to go to the rewrite and they're very upset because you didn't like it. I went through that for seven years.

More quotes by Salma Hayek
When I first came to Hollywood I was told to go out with an agent because it was good for my career. So I went to a party with him because it was good for my 'career.' Well, he thought the whole thing was a big date. Needless to say, I was very upset.
Salma Hayek
I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder.
Salma Hayek
I might not be famous one day. But I'd still be happy.
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'm concerned about my daughter because she will not believe in Santa Claus. No matter what I say to her, she just doesn't buy it, and she's 2. I refuse to give it up. I say, 'There is a Santa Claus,' and she says, 'Okay, Mommy. In pretend world, right?' She really doesn't believe.
Salma Hayek
Find your own style. Don't spend your savings trying to be someone else. You're not more important, smarter, or prettier because you wear a designer dress.
Salma Hayek
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.
Salma Hayek
Everybody has a weakness. Mine is food.
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
Try to figure out who you really are and not who you want other people to think you are.
Salma Hayek
I don't believe in the so-called Latino explosion when it comes to movies. Jennifer Lopez doesn't have an accent. She grew up in New York speaking English, not Spanish. Her success is very important because she represents a different culture, but it doesn't help me.
Salma Hayek
In fighting for women, we fight for humanity. We fight for the future - for everyone.
Salma Hayek
They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I'm not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don't have role models as woman for directors.
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
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
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
I've stolen a couple of hearts and they are in my private collection!
Salma Hayek
Life is tough and if you have the ability to laugh at it, you have the ability to enjoy it.
Salma Hayek
I have always been an active part of my community.
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
