Salma Hayek Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I had to endure the worst time of all in terms of racial discrimination in Hollywood when I first started out. It was inconcievable to American directors and producers that a Mexican woman could have a lead role Picture Quote #1

They thought I was crazy in Mexico when I said, ‘I’m going to Hollywood.’ Nobody thought I could make it Picture Quote #1

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. It all atrophies! Plus, if you freeze a muscle in your face, other muscles have to compensate! And once you stop, what does that look like? Picture Quote #1

Do I envy Madonna’s body? Yes. Do I thank God that she has it? Yes! If you’re fifty-something and you look like Madonna, and you put a lifetime’s work in the way you look, then flash it to the world! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I am so, so lucky. I am the luckiest girl in the world, really. And still with access to everything I could possibly want I still say ‘Oh dear, what am I going to wear today?’ There’s no ending to that question! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I love family films. Of course, as a mother who has to watch so many movies, you really appreciate it when somebody makes a film that is for everybody - family entertainment that’s really for the family, where everyone has a good time Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

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?’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think that it’s important for every single person, no matter what they do in life, to participate in the well-being of humanity and the planet. Don’t let a year go by knowing you didn’t make an effort to do something - no matter how small - outside your own problems and drama Picture Quote #1

I was privileged to grow up in Mexico at a time when you could play in the streets. We lived not too far from the ocean, and we would be outside all the time with the neighbours’ kids, running free. What better place could there be for a child? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you’re in a good place and you’re in a bad place at the same time. You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My English was limited to vacationing and not really engaging with Americans. I knew ‘shopping’ and ‘eating’ English - I could say ‘blue sweater,’ ‘creme brulee,’ and ‘Caesar salad,’ - so I came here thinking I spoke English Picture Quote #1

My grandmother was energetic and fearless - a talented poet and songwriter. She was also interested in chemistry and history and medicine, taking care of the people in her hacienda in Mexico, delivering babies. She could have become anything, but this was the 1930s, and she was forced into an arranged marriage Picture Quote #1

My mother was devoted to helping people - with my father’s money! - who had great voices but didn’t have the financial means to study music. He and my mum gave away dozens of music scholarships, and my mum opened a school in town, introduced opera to children and created fantastic programmes Picture Quote #1

What you need is one black dress I call Plan B. It doesn’t have to be fabulous, it just looks good, covers up the problems and is neutral enough for dinner, business, a date, a funeral. You don’t overwear it, you don’t overwash it, because the Plan B is - gold Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

People say we’re all identical, but Jennifer Lopez is an American. She’s from New York. She doesn’t have an accent. Some of these Latin people - their Spanish is pathetic. They learned it when they became famous as Latinos Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Your empathy for other mothers is such a natural instinct and it’s such a beautiful thing that we all connect, and we should all help each other Picture Quote #1

Somehow I am really relaxed within the chaos of having a baby - and anyone who’s a mother knows it’s very hard to relax, because there is so much to do and worry about! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think that a lot of women that know they’re going to be part of history somehow decide to have a character to be remembered by Picture Quote #1
