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.

More quotes by Salma Hayek
In fighting for women, we fight for humanity. We fight for the future - for everyone.
Salma Hayek
I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.
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
I might not be famous one day. But I'd still be happy.
Salma Hayek
When I finally decided to leave school and pursue acting, my parents didn't take it very lightly. My friends thought that it was the tackiest thing they'd ever heard of. Acting was really beneath them. They couldn't believe that I would want to become an actress. Not now, of course.
Salma Hayek
You want to do movies that your children can watch, and that your children can have fun at and enjoy the experience of shooting.
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
What once was an expression of who I was - acting - also became my hiding place.
Salma Hayek
There has never been a female director who has won an Oscar. There has only been one woman who won at the Cannes Film Festival.
Salma Hayek
I will not have Botox. You know why? Because I eat! I eat the fat, I eat the vegetable, I eat everything. If you exercise and you don't eat enough, it takes its toll on the skin.
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 received so many hate letters when I breast-fed a starving baby in Africa. I was in Sierra Leone in 2009 and I was weaning my child at that time - she was not there with me. There was a hungry baby who was crying because his mother had no milk, and I thought, 'Why throw away my milk if I can give it to a baby who needs it?'
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
If you look at any other group of people suffering injustice, women are always in the worst situation within that group.
Salma Hayek
After doing a juice cleanse, I'm motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally. Cleansing is like my meditation. It makes me stop, focus and think about what I'm putting into my body. I'm making a commitment to my health and hitting the reset button.
Salma Hayek
I don't ever want to have to depend on anyone completely.
Salma Hayek
When I speak about freedom, it's about freedom of the spirit. Freedom of the spirit can't be represented by a body. It has to be art. It has to be all the colors. It has to be something that moves and has no boundaries.
Salma Hayek
Life is tough and if you have the ability to laugh at it, you have the ability to enjoy it.
Salma Hayek
Everybody has a weakness. Mine is food.
Salma Hayek
I believe that change keeps you young.
