| Zoe Saldana On ‘Avatar 2’: ‘I Won’t Even Hesitate’ | March 7th, 2010 |
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.

Zoe is featured on the cover of the April 2010 issue of “Glamour” magazine! The issue should be in stores soon – so make sure you grab your copy!
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.

‘Avatar’ star Zoe Saldana comments on being named the “Face of the Future.”
Saldana will receive the MaxMara Face of the Future award at Women In Film’s 2010 Crystal and Lucy Awards in June, and she stepped out in Milan for the MaxMara show.
“I’m so honored and proud that a line like MaxMara has been so supportive, not only in fashion but also for other fields in the arts like film,” Saldana said. “And to have the one award a year, where women get together and celebrate each other in Hollywood, is amazing.”
