'Avatar' actress Zoe Saldana covers the April 2010 issue of Nylon, where she talks about Hollywood and meeting the legendary James Cameron.
On Learning Dance as a Child:
“That was the beginning of a beautiful fucking romance. That was my Xanax, let me tell you… it put all my demons in order.”
On Color Issues of Hollywood:
“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 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 sh-t 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!’”
