Salma Hayek Quote
-
I don`t believe in the so-called Latino explosion when it comes to movies. Jennifer Lopez doesn`t have an accent. She grew up in New York speaking English not Spanish. Her success is very important because she represents a different culture, but it doesn`t help me. I grew up in Mexico, not the US, 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. Everyone`s afraid of doing something a bit risky. Everyone wants a $200 million hit and anything they think might get in the way of that kind of success is considered a liability.
