Your unwavering support for the Violence Against Women Act on behalf of the victims of these crimes has made an enormous difference, Senators Specter and Biden, ... Your courageous efforts to take on these terrible crimes have put trained police officers in communities that need them.
I directed a movie and now, I'm going to do the editing.
What once was an expression of who I was - acting - also became my hiding place.
When I started acting, I was told over and over again, 'You're no good.' But I said to myself, 'You've got to keep it up.'
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.
I have always been an active part of my community.
Producing is hell, writing is frustrating, acting is really satisfying, directing is heaven.
You have to embrace the character for everything that she was, without any judgement, and throw yourself completely, completely into it.
I have gotten a lot more attention than...other women that I find incredibly beautiful. And this has happened to me ever since I was a girl, when I was flat, had no teeth, was skinny and small as I could be. I always got more attention than anyone else. If I hadn't, I would have made sure I did...
We're a combination of extremely girlie girls who have a strong sense of justice.
You have supported the work of prosecutors dedicated to holding the perpetrators of these crimes accountable,
You know how macho boys get when they're all together? Well, the set of 'Desperado' was like that. They were all trying to put me down, saying, 'Bring on the stuntwoman, Salma can't do that.' But I did everything.
I do have thighs and a butt. I have cellulite.
I like to eat. I'm always on the edge of how much can I eat without looking too - you know. If I eat something salty, it makes me want something sweet. I eat something sweet, then I want salty. And exercise is not my thing, though I do it.
