Zoe Saldana won’t need convincing to head to the set of “Avatar 2.”

“We signed our lives away for whatever was going to happen. It was the kind of thing that, had they not asked me to sign, I would’ve offered myself regardless,” the star told Access Hollywood of the potential sequel at the 3rd Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon. “Any excuse to go back and reunite with [director] Jim [Cameron] and the rest of the cast, especially Sam [Worthington] and Sigourney [Weaver], is something that I won’t even hesitate [to do].”

As the cast and crew of “Avatar” gear up for their big night at the Oscars on Sunday, Zoe said she’s been trying to slow down the whirlwind of awards season events.

“Life happens and it goes so fast,” she said. “It’s been so wonderful so far.”

The film has grossed over $2 billion, making it the top-earning film ever – beating out Cameron’s previous record holder, 1997’s “Titanic.” The director has confirmed a sequel is in the works, though the project is likely a ways off.

GLAMOUR: How has your definition of glamour changed over the years?

ZOË SALDANA I love aging. Why would I want to be 21 for the rest of my life? Glamour is about feeling good in your own skin.

GLAMOUR: In past interviews, you’ve bristled on the topic of race. Why?

ZOË SALDANA Because ethnic is a word that doesn’t exist in my vocabulary. In Hollywood, you hear things like, “Oh, they loved you but they want to go more traditional.” That’s the new N word. So when [someone says] I look “dark,” I say, “Dark compared to whom? This is just my skin.”

GLAMOUR: This truly is the Year of Zoë Saldana . How has your life changed?

ZOË SALDANA To quote a rapper, “Mo’ money, mo’ problems.” More work, less time to live.

GLAMOUR: Is it tough to make time for your boyfriend, [actor] Keith Britton?

ZOË SALDANA Well, it’s not like he sits around waiting. We travel a lot, which keeps things alive. We’re very private. It’s worked for 10 years—long enough to go to hell and back.

GLAMOUR: Where will you be in 10 years?

ZOË SALDANA I want to be the best daughter, sister, friend and wife I can possibly be—because when I die, I am not going to be buried with my Oscar. I want to love life.

In early February, just as “Avatar” became the highest-grossing movie in U.S. box-office history, News Corp. top dog Rupert Murdoch announced that Fox had held “very early talks about” a sequel to James Cameron’s sci-fi love story. More than two weeks later, Cameron tells MTV News he’s still waiting to sort out those contractual details before committing to a return to the motion-captured world of Pandora.

“I’ve got some deal hurdles I got to get over with the studio before I want to emotionally embrace that,” the writer/director said.

Declining to elaborate about the specific obstacles — not compensation-related, he assured us — Cameron nonetheless said all parties involved expect a deal to be signed at some point down the road.

“[Sequel details have] never properly been worked out, let me put it that way,” he said. “But everyone’s highly motivated. Rupert Murdoch told us we were doing it, so now they have to make a deal.”

During the Wednesday interview, Cameron also confirmed what he’s been telling us since December: that the sequel will pick up after the events of the first film — spoiler alert! — when Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) permanently transfers his consciousness to his Na’vi avatar and begins a new life with Princess Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) after they defeat the human colonizers.

“It would be a continuation of their story and I expect that those nasty humans didn’t go away forever: ‘Oh, well that didn’t work!’ ” he said.

For now, though, Cameron adamantly refuses to say whether a second “Avatar” will be his next feature film project as a director. He’s got his hands in a number of other creative ventures and will soon jet off to Australia for work on “Sanctum,” a 3-D underwater cave-diving tale that he’s producing.

“I’m sort of reacquainting with a bunch of projects that are non-theatrical film projects, like space stuff and ocean stuff,” Cameron said. “But yeah, I’m thinking about what the next feature will be and another ‘Avatar’ film is a strong possibility.”

Zoe Saldana used to dress like a “Sci-Fi geek”.

The ‘Avatar’ actress says she has always been in to fashion and used to experiment with her look while she was growing up.

She said: “In high school I was a little bit of everything. Sometimes I would want to dress like a cheerleader or like a mean girl or the Sci-Fi geek that I usually was. It all depended on my mood, but I always knew that I loved fashion.”

Zoe, 31, says her love of clothes stems from her mother, who always encouraged her to take pride in her appearance.

She said: “My mum is from the Caribbean so her advice has always been incorporate colour in your wardrobe. I always end up dressing in black and white – the New York state of mind. But I really do try to listen to my mom’s advice.”

The ‘Star Trek’ beauty also revealed she is a huge fan of up-and-coming designer Prabal Gurung, after seeing his show at New York Fashion Week.

She told People magazine: “I just went to the Prabal Gurung show and I was absolutely smitten by all their clothes. I was absolutely thrown back by his beautiful collection. There was definitely this black dress that he had with a leather belt and I went crazy for it. I was like, ‘I must have that!’ ”
