Salma Hayek Quotes

• You’ve got to take who you are and love who you are and do the best you can with what you’ve got. It goes for the figure, and it goes for everything else.
• [on being pregnant] You are like a swollen whale and never looked worse in your life. And somebody goes, ‘You’re glowing.’ They don’t have the courage to tell you how bad you look.
• It sounds trite to go after men who are nice but when you’ve been hurt a lot it becomes appealing.
• If a man lets all of my dogs sleep in the bed with us, then that is the most romantic thing. You must love my dogs in order to love me. A man who is nice to my animals and doesn’t shoo them away – well, that’s the height of romance.
• In my world, you have to be so beautiful, so skinny, so rich, so famous and I don’t believe you really have to be any of those things. You simply have to be who you are. I do have thighs and a butt. I have cellulite. Don’t be too impressed with me. Don’t try to dress like me or wear your hair like mine. 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. I get them free and I’m too lazy to go out and look for my own. I, a rich girl from Mexico, came here with designer clothes. And one day, when I was starving in an apartment in Los Angeles, I looked at my Chanel blouses and said, ‘If only I could pay the rent with one of these.’
• 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. -quoted in Woman’s Day 8-15-06 issue.
• About Madonna: “She always paid attention to the Latin community. I was grateful somebody like her appreciated our culture” (InStyle magazine, Sept 2006).
• “In my twenties I was offered lots of parts where there wasn’t much to do but act sexy. I still get offered those roles – but now I take it as a compliment.” Woman’s World (7-11-06)
• What works in a relationship of very public people is not making the relationship public – keeping it as personal as it can be. It’s the only way it is real. I am suspicious of those who have to let the world know how much they love each other. It’s a little sad when you have to brag about how much you love someone. That kind of declaration doesn’t always reflect the moment of truth between two people who care deeply for each other. When that truth is there, you don’t need others to know it. And when somebody truly loves you, you don’t even need him or her to be affectionate. Affection is fantastic, but it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s love – and the public display of affection is often just a show. When you open a door for others to have an opinion on your relationship, it can be dangerous. Find what you need, not what everyone else wants for you. Women have been taught that in order to have a place in the world, an identity, they must marry and have children. If that’s the life you truly want, great. But for many women, marriage is only about needing the world to know that someone desires them enough to say, “Here’s a contract to prove that I love you and will commit to you for the rest of my life.” For these women, no contract equals no validation – and, thus, no reason for existing.
• At the beginning [my career] was hard. People were like, ‘Who is this Mexican jumping bean?’
• What worries me the most is that most men are so weak. Because of that they act like they don’t care and like machos – because they are too fragile inside. They’re scared of confrontation and afraid of so many things. And because of this they build up their life so they have to deal with their feelings as little as possible. I find feminine men unbelievably sexy. But most men are completely incapable of getting in touch with their feminine side. What am I supposed to talk about with a man who doesn’t know what it’s like to be a woman?
• “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. I grew up in Mexico, not the US, 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. Everyone’s afraid of doing something a bit risky. Everyone wants a $200 million hit and anything they think might get in the way of that kind of success is considered a liability”.
• I act tall!” “But look how short I am…I can’t even act to be tall. I’m five-two. I can’t even create the illusion that I am tall!
• I keep waiting to meet a man who has more balls than I do.
