at that expression in the top right!

Zoe Saldana talks about balance

Quote:

Saldana also highlighted in her interview with USA Today about the sexism existing in Hollywood. According to the 38-year-old movie star, production studios "spend more money sometimes 'perking' up male superstars in a movie," and paying for the actors' private jets, bodyguards, assistants, or booking penthouses and yachts, the news outlet added.

"But then a woman comes in going, 'OK, I have a child. You're taking me away from my home. You're taking my children away from their home. And you're going to make me work a lot more hours than I usually would if I was home. Therefore, I would have to pay for this nanny for more hours -- so I kind of need that. And they go, 'Nope, we don't pay for nannies'," Saldana explained to USA Today.

Despite the challenges of being a working mom with a hectic schedule, Saldana insisted that she is grateful for her job and that balancing it all out is the key struggle.

"That's the most exhausting thing, the balance of it all. But it helps when you're doing it with your companion. If I know Marco is trying to balance it as well, then I feel like I'm not alone," she told the news outlet.

Paramount Pictures, which will produce Saldana's next film "Star Trek," was contacted by USA Today in regards to the actress' statement. The company, however, refused to comment. Saldana's representative, Gary Mantoosh, said that "the (child care) issue had been resolved prior to when this interview was conducted" and that productions always have negotiations, the news outlet added.

“I am feeling the best that I felt in a very long time,” a smiling Nichols told Turner while adding that she has no loss of mobility in the wake of her stroke. To hear her tell it, “I am as wild and woolly as I have ever been.”
