Salma Hayek

“People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder.”

“I think it's not a woman's job to make a man feel like a man. A man should feel like a man with or without a woman.”

“What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.”

“I keep my beauty in a jar. It's called confidence.”

“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.”

“I'm not a skinny girl. I don't want to be a skinny girl. I'm happy with my body.”

“Your anatomy doesn't make you a woman. It's what's in your heart. It's the fire in your soul.”

“Life is tough, and if you have the ability to laugh at it, you have the ability to enjoy it.”

“No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.”

“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.”

“My driving ambition is to be a good mother.”

“I've always been a feminist, and I've always been a proud Mexican.”

“Some people are born with very clear objectives. I'm not one of them, but I'm getting there.”
