Zoe Saldana admits she considered quitting acting after Golden Globe win

Zoe Saldana admitted that she was considering quitting acting before her success in the film Emilia Perez.

The 46-year-old actress won her first ever Golden Globes for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in the film on Sunday, January 5.

"I feel an absolute joy. Joy because there's a sense of presence," she told reporters in the press room.

"I've always had good human beings and amazing undeniable talent, undeniably talented filmmakers believe in me and bet on me, trust me and consistently, so this recognition is, it's paramount for my continuation as an artist," Saldana continued.

"And there are no books. I'm happy. I'm just, I'm 46. There was a moment a couple of years ago where I was sort of thinking about plan Bs. Like, do I go into a homestead and start planning a garden and baking goods? But the truth is I'm an artist through and through and I need to create every day. If not, I just don't know what I can do. I don't know why I'm here. And that's how my loved ones can get the [best] of me, when I'm allowed to create," she added.
