Actress Zoe Saldana looks beautiful on the latest issue of Fashion magazine, which hits newsstands on July 14. While she didn’t address the pregnancy rumors that have been swirling around, she discusses why she married her artist hubby Marco Perego, the best advice for women, among other things.

Here are some snippets from the 36-year-old Afro-Latina’s recent cover story:

On her marriage to artist Marco Perago after her break up with Bradley Cooper:

“I was finally able to spend time without being in a relationship and even though, it was a short period of time, it was beautiful.  Where I lost that fear of being alone.  It was bliss. Then I met my partner when I was in really a beautiful place in my life.  It was like I found all my answers with him not in him.  I was finding my answers on my own.”

On the best advice a woman can get: 

“It’s important to not have women be afraid of you, to accept your mortality and your aging so that you can be a better mentor for up and coming women. Whenever these young women come and they just want to take everything all at once, just because they’re younger and their asses are harder and plumper, you kind of go, ‘Child, sit down.  Yes, you’re beautiful but listen to these 1, 2, 3s.’ 1. Don’t hike up your skirt too much. 2. I’m pretty sure you’re intelligent so act like it. 3. Read a book.”

On her view of competition in Hollywood:
“I was a ferocious dancer so therefore I was a ferocious up-and-coming actress. When it comes to auditions, I’m not competitive with anybody. I don’t even know who’s sitting next to me.  I wouldn’t even tell you if it was a blonde or brunette. The moment you compare yourself, it weakens you.”
