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)
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. View quote

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. View quote
Salma Hayek
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. View quote
Salma Hayek
If you're feeling blue, lock yourself in a room, stand in front of a mirror, and dance - and laugh at yourself and be sexy. Dance the silliest and ugliest you've ever danced. Make fun of yourself and try to recover your sense of humor. View quote
Salma Hayek
I've never had anything done on my face. I've never had dermabrasion or peels or injections of any kind, nothing. View quote
Salma Hayek
I'm a country girl. I have to be in nature, so my daughter is exposed to it a lot. View quote
Salma Hayek
'Frida' was a joy; this was delicious, I couldn't wait every day to get to the set, although I was exhausted, and have my leg get cut off or lose the baby or be in her shoes and get to play my hero and be able to go places emotionally. You know, we live for parts like this. This is a dream for an actor. View quote
Salma Hayek
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! View quote
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?' View quote
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)
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. View quote
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. View quote
Salma Hayek
I think it's important that kids have responsibilities and understand the value of things, but I think it's great I get to travel the world with my daughter. View quote
Salma Hayek
If it wasn't because of my high heels, I would still be in Coatzacoalcos with 10 children. View quote
Salma Hayek
They thought I was crazy in Mexico when I said, 'I'm going to Hollywood.' Nobody thought I could make it. View quote
Salma Hayek
If you're paralyzing your face in your 20s and 30s, you're not exercising the muscles that give it strength. My feeling is, laugh, cry, move your face. View quote
Salma Hayek
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? View quote
Salma Hayek
I love being a wife and homemaker - because it's my choice. My husband doesn't expect me to do it. I don't mind doing things for him because he does so much for me; we both feel that way so there is no power struggle. View quote
Salma Hayek
At one point in my life, I was very involved with social causes. I'm still involved, but now I have a family and it's important to me. View quote
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 don't ever want to have to depend on anyone completely. View quote
Salma Hayek
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! View quote
Salma Hayek
I have one friend that I've had since I was born, and she's from Coatzacoalcos. She's not really impressed or interested in the actor's life. My family isn't really either. View quote
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. View quote
