Zoe Saldana has been making her media rounds to promote her new Star Trek Into Darkness film and last night the actress appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and she was gorgeous in a geometric patterned red wrap dress.
The 34 year old was as happy as can be on the talk show but her responses in another recent interview is what really caught our attention.
Zoe hit up an intimate Q&A session & screener in NYC a couple nights ago and dished on training hard for her role as Uhura and why she’ll never stopworking until it stops fulfilling her.
She told the crowd:
“I never want to retire. What am I going to do, gardening? I want to keep growing, I’ll always need to learn something, someone will always want me to teach them something. I’m always going to be evolving in my career. Right now, I’ve finally found something that makes me happy. I’ve been doing this for over 10 years and it makes me happy. And the moment this business doesn’t make happy, I am going to do something else.”
The brunette went on to say she doesn’t believe in the word “celebrity” and that works her ass off and will never resort to sleeping her way to the top:
“Words like celebrity don’t exist. If you’re in it for game, get out of it. It’s always a producer to shag.”
The Avatar star also spoke on mentoring someone into the Hollywood biz and she reveals it would be her daughter. She says:
“I have a 10 year old niece so I would want to share with her and hope she got good experiences out if it. I’m very Latino. And [the reputation of us] working for 40 years like an animal and getting a 14 year old’s wage is old. It’s capitalism. We’ve been somebody since the day we were born. You can be anybody. You are just one person and you’re unique. If my niece one day wants to be an actress, she will work her ass off. I work my ass off. And when I get freebies, I deserve them.”
Right on sistah!
