Ambition has one heel nailed in well, though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens.

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.

My character in 'Casa de mi Padre' is an ambitious woman. I had never played that kind of character before.

It is hard to describe the thrill of creative joy which the artist feels when the conviction seizes her that at last she has caught the very soul of the character she wishes to portray, in the music and action which reveal it.

She stops, pauses, turns to the left to glance at some possible threat or irregularity, and then continues to the north. This motion, so intensely human, transcends time.

If one girl with courage is a revolution, imagine what feats we can achieve together.

When a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.

I imagine how hard it might be to walk down the runway. Me in heels is, like, deforesting the forest, knocking trees, completely 'timber!'

High heels empower women in a way.
