Zoe Saldana has been awarded the MaxMara 'Face Of The Future' at the 2010 Crystal & Lucy Awards, which celebrates women in film.

The 'Avatar' star couldn't reveal her secrets for success, but she thanks her mother for her support.

The 31-year-old said: "I wish I could point to one thing that helped make me successful, but I can't. Either I'm spending time looking at myself or I'm out there doing.

"I can tell you what I do not think are the keys to success: Fame is not a key to success. And so is not working. When I'm not working, I'm a mess! I'm one of those people who can't interact in the world of normalcy. I have to go to work to make me feel normal.

"I learned all of this from my mother, who is not attached to anything material. She didn't grow up in a capitalist society, so she always knew that to be happy you have to live today because tomorrow may be gone. She did teach us to have goals, but to not be obsessed, so you can live your life to the fullest. I have never known what I wanted - but I have always known what I didn't want to do."
