The Edit interview

Interview0 Comments

The actress models a series of high-end garments for The Edit.

I never exercised my whole life, but now I do yoga. I was always borderline chubby, because I like my food and frankly, I like my wine.

She adds that her career is going from strength to strength and says she is the busiest she has ever been:

The funny thing is that I really don’t even understand how [it all] came about. Maybe because when you don’t want something as much, you’re not desperate.

O Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Hayek gives her thoughts on the challenges that Latin women face in Hollywood in an interview with O Magazine.

Because there was no industry or parts for Latin women when I came here, there was really no competitiveness. Jennifer Lopez and I were the first, and I think Jennifer was my partner at the beginning. I think it was important for others to see two of us, because maybe then we could be thought of as a social phenomenon. Because she doesn’t have a foreign accent, Jennifer tried out for parts I couldn’t get.
