Being an actor is powerless: Zoe Saldana

New York: 'Avatar' star Zoe Saldana says being an actor sometimes makes a person feel powerless.

The 35-year-old actress has hit movies like 'Center Stage', 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl' and 'Avatar' to her credit, reportedly.

"Sometimes being an actor is a very powerless position to be in, especially if you're a woman, especially if you're a woman of color," Saldana said.

"(Acting) is basically stand there, look pretty, say your lines, go home. You're not there from the moment someone says, 'I have an idea,' and you fight for it and bleed for it," she added.
