A child speaks more sense than an adult half of the time.
Zoe Saldana
When I act, a part of me goes into the character I am playing.
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
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
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.
Zoe Saldana
I have an amazing mother who's a real tough cookie. She taught me not to get emotional about [sexism in Hollywood], just be really practical and objective. Later, in the privacy of my own home, maybe I'll bawl or break some dishes, but you just have to keep going. It's not about fighting, it's about educating.

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
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
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
It gets pretty boring when all you are is the support system for a male character.
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
Growing up, my dolls were doctors and on secret missions. I had Barbie Goes Rambo.
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 am hoping for a long career.
Zoe Saldana
I'm learning the power of going away for the weekend and keeping myself company.
Zoe Saldana
I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience, wisdom, and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin.
Zoe Saldana
In dance you use every party of your body except your voice. I wanted to start acting because I wanted to use my voice.
Zoe Saldana
Every character has their reasons - even the characters who do dumb things.
