More quotes by Zoe Saldana
Glamour is about feeling good in your own skin.
Zoe Saldana
I'm a fan of the fan. I'm a fan of the active devotee who lives his life believing in something, who represents to me the character of a person that is very confident and sure of himself. Those are people I admire.
Zoe Saldana
Music is a very big participant in everything I do, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed.
Zoe Saldana
I'm a kid from New York, so urban life reflected into art and music was around me and accessible and tangible.
Zoe Saldana
If there's any relevant influence we may have with an investor, with a studio, with a director, with an actor, I think we have to fight.
Zoe Saldana
What doesn't feel okay to me, what feels a little bit out of balance, is when you want to turn yourself into something else - when you want to be another person.
Zoe Saldana
Dancing for the length of time that I did, it centered me in such a way to be really in tune with my body, and I just feel like I'm physically able to do things because of my ballet background. Without ballet, I don't think I'd look graceful at all on screen.
Zoe Saldana
To be seen and to be respected for my work and acknowledged as a true American Latina... means a lot to me.
Zoe Saldana
Not to settle. If you're not happy with a person, leave. And wait until you find that one person who makes you feel good about yourself every single day and is not expecting you to change, but to grow.
Zoe Saldana
For the actor's wishes to be respected in terms of characteristics that your character's gonna have, you have to work with good and intelligent and talented stunt people that not only can carry weapons well but can also carry a personality.
Zoe Saldana
I love aging. Why would I want to be 21 for the rest of my life?
Zoe Saldana
Trust me: Studios, investors, filmmakers, they will shift because they just follow the money trail.
Zoe Saldana
The biggest obstacle I've had to overcome is being a woman in a man's world.
Zoe Saldana
Basically, there's not enough sex in movies, that's it. I'm trying to say it, people. I miss sex in movies because sex is natural, guns are not.
Zoe Saldana
I like to be around people who are very passionate. People that won't fight but that will be very over-protective and outspoken about their opinion, their point of view, their ideas.
Zoe Saldana
I don't understand labels. I don't need anybody to tell me I'm Latina or black or anything else. I've played characters that were written for Caucasian females, I just want to be given the same consideration as everybody else, and so far that has been happening.
Zoe Saldana
I'm so intrigued by women throughout history where the significance of what they were representing at that time is obscured by the fact a man saved them or they were prostitutes.
Zoe Saldana
I find it really frustrating when people go, I want to be famous and glamorous like you. It's hard for me not to have a bad thought when someone says that to me, since if there's anything this business is not, is glamorous. It's only glamorous for maybe five minutes every now and then.
Zoe Saldana
You need one hundred percent commitment you have to be willing to wake up every morning knowing you're going to [practice] eight hours straight.
Zoe Saldana
Let's start creating better roles that accurately depict people we know so closely.
