Salma Hayek: Mexican pride in the mecca of Hollywood films
Translated by Brian Lemiere.
(Note: Remember that is interview was translated, therefore the quotes are not exactly what she said.)
Interviewer: Do you think you're beautiful?
Salma: Sometimes I like how I look, but I don't worry about it too much because I have 28 years of seeing my face. There are also days, however, that I tell myself "you look horrible today." (Interviewer) The word complexion is not a part of Salma's vocabulary because she knows real well that colors and textures that go with her color of skin and type of dress make her shine in any situation.
Salma: I want to say to all the Mexican people that I owe them a big part of my security. They embraced me, and were with me when I was doing my first soap opera. They didn't know me, but they believed in me. Since I began at the bottom of Hollywood, that has given me alot of strength. The love from the Mexican people that has been there from the beginning helped me to feel accepted.
Interviewer: After almost 6 years of dedicating herself to Hollywood, Salma feels that the effort was worth all the pain.
