More quotes by 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
What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.
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
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.
Salma Hayek
I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder.
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
In fighting for women, we fight for humanity. We fight for the future - for everyone.
Salma Hayek
They thought I was crazy in Mexico when I said, 'I'm going to Hollywood.' Nobody thought I could make it.
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.
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
I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.
Salma Hayek
Life, I've got lots of friends. I don't complain.
Salma Hayek
What once was an expression of who I was - acting - also became my hiding place.
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
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
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 really do love Diana Ross I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico, so while we got the music, we never got the experience of watching her.
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
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
Before I had my child, animals were my life. I slept with four dogs in my bed.
