Zoe Saldana knows what it's like to be treated unfairly when it comes to balancing motherhood with her career.

"Let me tell you something, it will never be the right time for anybody in your life that you get pregnant," the 37-year-old new mom, who gave birth to twins Cy and Bowie in December, told USA Today.

Saldana added that many of the studios went into a tizzy after learning she was expecting.

"The productions I was slated to work on sort of had a panic. I heard through the grapevine there was even a conversation of me being written off one of the projects," she recalled. "I was like, 'Oh, my God, are you kidding me? It's this bad? Right when I just feel super-duper happy, is that inconvenient for you? That me, as a woman in my 30s, I finally am in love and I am finally starting my life? And it's [screwing] your schedule up? Really?'"

Saldana also expressed her deep dissatisfaction with the way moms are treated compared to male actors. She's a firm believer that child care should be provided for actresses working long hours.

"A woman comes in going, 'Okay, 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 more hours than I usually would if I was home,'" she said, pointing out that male actors receive perks like private jets, bodyguards, penthouses, etc. "'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.'"
