Zoe Saldana Covers "NYLON" Magazine


Talk about a "come up"! Zoe is EVERYWHERE nowadays!

Avatar star Zoe Saldana graces this month's issue of NYLON magazine where she talks about everything from her LOVE of sex (who doesn't!) to her breakout role in Avatar. Peep some snippets from the interview:
On Hollywood casting:
“When they say ‘We want to go white,’ they have a very smooth way of saying it, and the recent one is the word traditional.  [I’ve heard] ‘Oh, you know, you’re just not what we were looking for, your skin is a little darker.’  Compared to what?!  My skin is just my skin.  It’s dark if you compare it to someone who’s lighter.”
On moving from New York City to the Dominican Republic at age 9:
“We went from this urban life to running around barefoot in the countryside and being taught how to gut fish.  We were learning how to climb coconut trees – let me tell you, they are fucking dangerous!... I would do my homework in guava and mango trees.”
On meeting James Cameron:
“I’m thinking he probably imagined some Amazonian girl [for Neytiri] – I had really long hair at the time – wearing really little shit with like, a bow and arrow.  I had no idea she was blue and nine feet tall.  But for some reason, he was like, ‘You look so much like her!’””

"I love sex and rock 'n roll. You have no idea."
