Personal quotes:

"The concept of going into a room full of people who are sweating and inhaling their sweat while I'm painfully driving myself into exhaustion... I will not participate in that collective hysteria."
- Salma Hayek, on working out

"I'm sure the owners of the breasts, which are beautiful and larger than mine, must be really pissed off, because she paid a lot of money for them. And they're giving me the credit"
- Salma Hayek on her fake Internet nude pictures

"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."
- Salma Hayek

"When I first came to Hollywood I was told to go out with an agent because it was good for my career. So I went to a party with him because it was good for my 'career.' Well, he thought the whole thing was a big date. Needless to say, I was very upset."
- Salma Hayek

"I said to myself if there's a place in this world where the river can be made of chocolate and the flowers can be made of candy and you can chew gum and fly. And then you can burp yourself back to Earth. I said I gotta be there, and here I am."
- Salma Hayek on Charlie and The Chocolate Factory

"It makes me laugh when she says she got offered Selena, which was an outright lie. If that's what she does to get herself publicity than that's her thing." [Jennifer Lopez on Salma Hayek]
