More quotes by 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
Trust me: Studios, investors, filmmakers, they will shift because they just follow the money trail.
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 want to be in the small percentage of women who don't settle for conventional roles.
Zoe Saldana
I love wearing men's clothing and underwear.
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
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
As actors you have this trait to imitate very easily. I don't want to imitate anything or limit myself of finding this creature, this woman because I'm looking at magazines and I'm reading comics, and I'm asking people that are avid readers of The Guardians.
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
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 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
The biggest obstacle I've had to overcome is being a woman in a man's world.
Zoe Saldana
Science fiction is a genre that no everyone is keen on watching.
Zoe Saldana
You find a way to work with people you have more in common with.
Zoe Saldana
I'm a fan of the fan. I'm a fan of the active devotee who lives his life believing in something, who represents to me the character of a person that is very confident and sure of himself. Those are people I admire.
Zoe Saldana
People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength. I'm very proud to have Latin blood.
Zoe Saldana
I am fluent in Spanish and I understand French, Italian and Portuguese.
Zoe Saldana
I've witnessed racism all my life. And of course there's racism and discrimination in Hollywood. You go for a part and they say, 'Oh, we really liked her, she's amazing, but we wanted to go with something more traditional'. As if I'm not a traditional American!
Zoe Saldana
It's ok to say, 'this is what I want' and go after it.
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.
