I think it's nice for women to try to be sexy for their man.
It sounds trite to go after men who are nice but when you've been hurt a lot it becomes appealing.
If a man lets all of my dogs sleep in the bed with us, then that is the most romantic thing. You must love my dogs in order to love me. A man who is nice to my animals and doesn't shoo them away - well, that's the height of romance.
Make yourself smell nice. I even wear perfume sometimes when I'm alone.
If I go on a diet and work out, I'm always in a bad mood. I'd rather be a little heavier but nice.
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.
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 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.
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.
