Salma Hayek in Beatriz at Dinner
"I had a successful soap opera career in Mexico, but I left my fame and my comfort and I moved to Los Angeles because I wanted to make films. I was very, very famous in Mexico, and in the States I was working as an extra. People thought maybe I was running from the police. Why else would I leave everything I had to play a maid? I told them, 'This industry is going to change. We are too strong of an economic force to be ignored forever.'”
