Zoe Saldana covers Allure magazine

Zoe Saldana covers the latest Allure magazine.
* On dating actors: “Been there, done that, got the T-shirt”
* On her sexuality: “I might end up with a woman raising my children… that’s how androgynous I am… Yes, I was raised that open”
* On knowing what she wants: “If I have something good in front of me, it doesn’t matter if it’s a person or a pair of shoes, I’m not going to test something else… It’s insecure and it’s immature”
* On finding a balance of ambition and self-acceptance: “Now, in the last few years of my life, I’m actually claiming what I want and not being afraid that I’m jinxing it, that it might not happen, that I might be disappointed if it doesn’t happen. It’s OK to say: This is what I want—and go after it. And if it doesn’t happen, it’s OK. Be a reasonable person with yourself”
* On the criticism of her playing Nina Simone: “Let me tell you, if Elizabeth Taylor can be Cleopatra, I can be Nina—I’m sorry. It doesn’t matter how much backlash I will get for it. I will honor and respect my black community because that’s who I am”
