On the basis of being a woman, by playing an alien, I avoid playing someone's girlfriend here on Earth because that's a bit of a canker sore.

More quotes by Zoe Saldana
As a woman, you spend so much time either cooking or getting ready to go somewhere. I like to have music when I'm doing either of these things.
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
Trust me: Studios, investors, filmmakers, they will shift because they just follow the money trail.
Zoe Saldana
Our censorship has sort of gotten a little too far. Too much censorship is just as bad as having none at all. Children need to be exposed to things, because if they don't see it, eventually, it's not like it's not going to happen, but it's just that there needs to be a balance.
Zoe Saldana
I want to be the best daughter, sister, friend and wife I can possibly be - because when I die, I am not going to be buried with my Oscar.
Zoe Saldana
I don't believe actors who say they don't bleed into their characters. It's absolutely impossible not to.
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
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
A child speaks more sense than an adult half of the time.
Zoe Saldana
I love being in space. I love being challenged by great roles that a company like Marvel creates amazing movies that no only give audiences an adventure but also give us as artists an opportunity for us to be challenged to embody amazing, multilayered characters.
Zoe Saldana
I have a hyper personality.
Zoe Saldana
I think there are roles there we just have to choose them. We have to fight for them.
Zoe Saldana
You have to be very committed and find happiness in the work that you do.
Zoe Saldana
I want to be in the small percentage of women who don't settle for conventional roles.
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
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
If there's any relevant influence we may have with an investor, with a studio, with a director, with an actor, I think we have to fight.
Zoe Saldana
Let's start creating better roles that accurately depict people we know so closely.
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
For me, it's very important if I do action movies and I have a stunt person, to work with them. Not only by memorizing the choreography but also it's important to study that individual and it's imperative for that individual to study you because you're not playing two different people, you're playing the same person.
