Zoe Saldana Covers September 2011 Issue of Latina Magazine
Posted on August 8, 2011
Actress Zoe Saldana graces the September 2011 cover of Latina magazine. In the interview, Zoe discusses her relationship with Keith Britton, being famous, her near total breakdown in Paris and her upcoming film, Colombiana.
On Dealing With Her Newfound Fame: "The year after Avatar was just emotionally overwhelming. I was traveling all over the world, waking up in different time zones. Your body gets exhausted, and by the end of the year I just collapsed."
On Coming Close to a Total Breakdown: "I was in Paris training for Colombiana, sitting in my hotel room, and I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't stay awake. I must have slept for an entire month. It took me the rest of the year, even as I was working and shooting Colombiana, to pick myself up. Thank God my family was there."
On the Post-Avatar Effect: "I just want the best filmmakers in the world to tell me, 'You're good, kid, you're legit.' The recognition will never get old, and I'll never get accustomed to it. I don't ever want to, because that will mean I'm taking it for granted. That's why I work, not for the luxuries or the awards."
On the Key to Her 12-Year Relationship With Keith Britton: "I think the only reason we've made it this long is because we don't listen to anybody but ourselves. We've still managed to sustain a relationship in a world where half of the people we know are divorcing or going through problems. It's like that song we both love by Frank Sinatra - we did it our way!"
The magazine arrives on newsstands on August 16th.
