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.

More quotes by 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
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
You have to be very committed and find happiness in the work that you do.
Zoe Saldana
Science fiction is a genre that no everyone is keen on watching.
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 find it really frustrating when people go, I want to be famous and glamorous like you.
Zoe Saldana
As an artist, I like working with filmmakers that have the balls to kind of imagine the unimaginable. Those are kind of the radicals that I identify with.
Zoe Saldana
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
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
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
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
If there's anything that I've always said about myself is that to me, it's much more important for me to get to work with filmmakers that I've grown up loving and admiring.
Zoe Saldana
There was this book that Judi Dench wrote that said there was a moment where, before an actor can be this or be that, the actor must simply be. I thought that to have absolute presence was to absorb everything that’s thrown at you.
Zoe Saldana
I am hoping for a long career.
Zoe Saldana
I love women. I worship women. Don’t want to be any other woman but myself.
Zoe Saldana
I was a ballet dancer for so long, but when I realized I had reached my limit and that I couldn't go any further I knew I wanted to pursue acting. That's one thing you don't use as a dancer - your voice. And the one thing I use most in my life is my voice so it's wonderful to get to express myself artistically through the biggest instrument I use.
Zoe Saldana
I'm a sci-fi girl. If I can have anything in life, I'd want tons of great science-fiction movies and stories. It's so progressive, beautiful, and imaginative.
Zoe Saldana
Fathers, sons, brothers, men everywhere: Your legacy will not perish if you take your partner's surname, or she keeps hers.
Zoe Saldana
A child speaks more sense than an adult half of the time.
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.
