Quote

When I'm working I don't have room to think about myself and my own issues. It's really freeing. There is no room for me, which is really nice.

I don't believe in making five-year plans. I don't want to say, Yes, I want to have children in the next five years, because I don't know. I've always known that I'd like to be a mom, but I don't want to live by a schedule. If I [did], I wouldn't be living in the moment.

I've tried most of my career to transform myself towards characters.

From the moment this baby came into our home, those two dogs have never been more in love. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. People keep saying, 'Oh, you're a single mom.' I'm like, 'Actually, I'm not. I've got two boys helping.'

There's only so much you can do, but if somebody doesn't give you a chance there is nothing you can do.
Charlize Theron

The human condition is all about us pretending to be something sometimes that we're not. When you get into the core of people kind of stripping all of that away, that's for me, as an actor, always the most fun stuff to do.
Charlize Theron
Image
Actors - we're selfish, but we can't think about the work in that kind of selfish manner. I think that you have to step away from yourself, if you're going to do it. Otherwise don't do it otherwise why do it?
Charlize Theron

I'd rather put on a pair of jeans and get on my Harley and act like a guy.
Charlize Theron

It's so great as an actor to get the opportunity to do something that's incredibly truthful.

I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.
Charlize Theron

It's in the eyes, mostly. Don't listen just to the other actor's lines. Look at - and listen to - their eyes. That's where the emotion comes through.
Charlize Theron
Image
I love being a woman and I love being feminine.
Charlize Theron
Image
I think we're at a time where people just want to join together and cause change. People don't want to live like this any more.

At least I know that one film-maker in my career has had the initiative to come to me and thought of me as being capable of doing interesting and complicated work, and so I have a new-found belief that other film-makers will see me in a different way, the way that Patty did.
