"Girls are such better kissers!" the Golden Globe winner said.

Zoe Saldaña has opened up about her attraction to women in a new interview with W Magazine.

Saldaña, the Golden Globe-winning star of Emilia Pérez, has been with her husband — Italian artist Marco Perego — since 2013 (via People). However, but in an interview with W Magazine, she's opened up about also being attracted to women, and revealed that her first kiss was actually with a girl.

"It was with a girl," Saldaña said when asked about her first kiss. "I must have been 13 or 14. I was that girl who said, 'Let's play house,' I was always telling my friends that. And that's why I wasn't invented to play at people's houses! So I was already kissing a whole bunch of girls by the time I was 13, 14. Girls are such better kissers!"

She also was asked about celebrity crushes she had growing up.

"Oh my god, I'm so shy about this," she said. "I did have a crush on Prince and Annie Lennox, I can't believe I'm saying this! Because there was just something androgynous about them. I love a woman who's masculine and a man who is feminine. I find that to be really sexy."

While Saldaña opened up about kissing girls and finding masculine women to be sexy, she stopped short of labeling her sexuality. However, she has previously talked about being open to dating women.

In an interview with Allure from 2013, Saldaña said that she might "end up with a woman raising my children," because "that's how androgynous I am" and responded, "Yes, I was raised that open," when asked to clarify if that meant she would be open to having a woman partner.

"Promise me one thing," she told Allure when asked if she had had a relationship with a woman before, "You're going to ask this question — if you choose to, just put three dots as my response. That's it."

Then, on the red carpet for Star Trek Into Darkness that same year, Saldaña told HollyScoop (via Bossip) that "it wasn't a generalization."

"It was a statement that I strongly stand by. As of today, I've been attracted to the male species, but if one day I wake up and want to be with a woman, I will do that because it is my life, therefore it is my decision."

Emilia Pérez is now streaming on Netflix.
