Zoe Saldana
Trust me: Studios, investors, filmmakers, they will shift because they just follow the money trail.
Zoe Saldana
Every time an adult is going to write something for a teenager and you don't have, physically, a person who is that, you are always going to be a little off.
Zoe Saldana
As actors you have this trait to imitate very easily. I don't want to imitate anything or limit myself of finding this creature, this woman because I'm looking at magazines and I'm reading comics, and I'm asking people that are avid readers of The Guardians.
Zoe Saldana
Call me crazy - I love elk meat!
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
I just want to be part of great stories that are told and for them to be relevant.
