Salma Hayek Mexico Quotations

They thought I was crazy in Mexico when I said, 'I'm going to Hollywood.' Nobody thought I could make it.

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.

My driving abilities from Mexico have helped me get through Hollywood.

I really do love Diana Ross; I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico, so while we got the music, we never got the experience of watching her.

I grew up in Mexico, not the U.S., 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.
