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
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
To be seen and to be respected for my work and acknowledged as a true American Latina... means a lot to me.
Zoe Saldana
Glamour is about feeling good in your own skin.
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 am fluent in Spanish and I understand French, Italian and Portuguese.
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
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 had to quit ballet because it felt like a part of me was dying inside.
Zoe Saldana
Trust me: Studios, investors, filmmakers, they will shift because they just follow the money trail.
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
I'm a kid from New York, so urban life reflected into art and music was around me and accessible and tangible.
Zoe Saldana
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.
