Zoe Saldana Talks Hubby Marco Perego with 'Fashion' Mag!

Zoe Saldana‘s smile is radiant on the cover of Fashion magazine‘s latest issue, on newsstands July 14.

Here is what the 36-year-old Guardians of the Galaxy actress had to share with the mag:

On her husband, artist Marco Perego: “When you are desired and you desire, so many things in your life start to make sense … We both feel we are artists in our core. One moment you’re up; the next moment you’re down. It all depends. You can sell a collection; you might not sell the next collection. It’s like an actor – you get cast or you don’t.”

On skin-deep criticisms regarding her casting in the biopic, Nina: “I handled the role with the same love, the same respect and the same pride that any other black person would, because I am a black woman, a proud Latino black woman, and nobody’s going to take that right from me.”

On valuable life lessons she has learned: “The moment you compare yourself [to another woman], it weakens you, and I’m not here for that. Once you know that reality [and] claim your space, your life becomes easier.”
