- She had one brother and two sisters. When she was a child, her father, a Mexican Army officer, died during a revolution, and she had to work for a living. Her mother, who was an opera singer, first showed her what stage life was like.
- Was best friends with Mrs. Jack Oakie and former silent movie star and Estelle Taylor, who was the last person to see her alive. Taylor co-starred with Velez in Where East Is East (1929); she played the mother of Velez's character.

- The first time you buy a house you think how pretty it is and sign the check. The second time you look to see if the basement has termites. It's the same with men.
- [on divorcing Johnny Weissmuller] Marriage - it stinks.
- One English word I never learn - "can't." I can do anything - not so very good, but I do it - swim, ride, act, anything. Anything except show my feet. Those are ugly. Bare feet I stop at. Nothing else.
- [1927] I will never fail. If one will not be beaten there is always a way to success. I am so happy. I make my whole family happy - my mother, my brother, my sister, my six Chihuahua dogs.
- If I fail at one thing I have no time to cry. I'll try something else.
