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.

It's insecure, and it's immature.
Zoe Saldana
Image
Sometimes we have to be patient because the one thing that is inevitable in life is evolution. Whether it comes at the pace that we are expecting it or not, it’s inevitable.

Image
I love skin. I don't believe the body is something to hide.
Zoe Saldana
Image
Every character has their reasons - even the characters who do dumb things.
Zoe Saldana
Image
I would love to play Nefertiti or Cleopatra or the Queen of Sheba. We preserve more male history than we do female. We have to preserve [female history]. No more complaining. We have to do it.

There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin. But God as my witness, I am going to try to do everything I can to keep this ass together for as long as I possibly can - without going against nature.
Zoe Saldana
Image
I never like to get political, but when you have the ability, through your media, to influence a large mass of people, I would want to be a part of the evolving cycle of progress vs. keeping things the way that they are.
Zoe Saldana
Image
I love women. I worship women. Don’t want to be any other woman but myself.
Zoe Saldana
Image
It gets pretty boring when all you are is the support system for a male character.
Zoe Saldana
Image
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
Image
Where people really base their principles has nothing to do with the color of someone's skin, it has to do with money and their class.
Zoe Saldana
Image
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
Image
You find a way to work with people you have more in common with.

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.

Happiness is nothing but temporary moments here and there - and I love those. But I would be bored out of my mind if I were happy all the time.
