I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.

More quotes by Zoe Saldana
I always strive to keep a balance with my fears. I don't like to be ruled by them. At the same time, I don't like the idea of living my life totally free of any fears. I like having that moderation.
Zoe Saldana
I like to look strong and commanding.
Zoe Saldana
It gets pretty boring when all you are is the support system for a male character.
Zoe Saldana
I do believe in us as actors and directors and writers and producers and also as movie-goers. We have much more power than we believe we have. Without our ticket, studios can't make traditional decisions.
Zoe Saldana
The biggest battle that I have is being a woman in the world. That takes center stage for me.
Zoe Saldana
I know the responsibility that entails from telling a story. The one thing I despise the most is when I go to a movie and I see a whole bunch of lazy actors making me waste my time and money.
Zoe Saldana
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.
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
I'm a girl from Queens. I've never gone, 'What am I doing today? Oh, I'm gonna grab a gun and learn how to use it.'
Zoe Saldana
There are a lot of magazines that are still sort of... that only cater to a certain demographic and only put certain people on their covers.
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
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
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 love wearing men's clothing and underwear.
Zoe Saldana
Sometimes we get too caught up in wanting to do that one movie that will get seen and approved and nominated, that we lose sight that there are so many other movies that are worth your time.
Zoe Saldana
I think there are roles there we just have to choose them. We have to fight for them.
Zoe Saldana
Physical roles give me a chance to learn something new.
Zoe Saldana
In Caribbean there is no middle class: you're either rich or you're poor. And the ladder to success is not really a ladder, it's a chain once you reach a certain level, you can't go back and you can only keep going forward.
Zoe Saldana
I love aging. Why would I want to be 21 for the rest of my life?
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
