More quotes by Charlize Theron
I love being a woman and I love being feminine.
Charlize Theron
I am South African and I am so aware, even as a white, privileged South African, that even within our community of privilege the idea of talking about sex or sexual preference or sexual identity or anything like that was just, nobody ever did that and nobody ever felt comfortable doing that.
Charlize Theron
I look at my career and how I'm doing it now. I feel like there is something authentic in that process that I still try not to over manipulate. When I feel something, I try to listen to that.
Charlize Theron
It's pretty impossible to be a South African and not have been personally affected by HIV or AIDS.
Charlize Theron
[If you want to] ask the question what is beautiful? It's the life that you lead. It's the life that all women lead.
Charlize Theron
I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled.
Charlize Theron
I like hard work. I like putting the effort towards it and then being able to look at it and go, All right, I did that.
Charlize Theron
You have to discipline yourself and not carry the character with you. You need to switch it off and take time to re-energize.
Charlize Theron
I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.
Charlize Theron
There's an instant access to luxury that I think women really appreciate.
Charlize Theron
I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I don't want to be anything other than what we are. I want to just be a woman.
Charlize Theron
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.
Charlize Theron
I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.
Charlize Theron
I grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to.
Charlize Theron
I love the idea of longevity in this career. But [producing] is not about, Let me do this because this might happen 20 years down the line. Sleepwalking wasn't a vehicle for me, it was a film that pushed the envelope. I want to produce good stories, versus creating a niche where I can look after myself as an actor.
Charlize Theron
I know that I'm only as good as I am because of the things that I allow into myself and into my soul, because that's the stuff that I project back out.
Charlize Theron
And I was victim to that very early in my career, where I would go into auditions, and I'd be wearing a big T shirt, a big baggy T shirt and loose jeans. You know, to try and show people that there was more to me than just that.
Charlize Theron
I think there is a great quote - and I feel horrible that I don't know who said this - but it was a great quote, it says, The only difference between all of us are the ones who are loved and the ones who are not.
Charlize Theron
And I do think that earlier in my career, I did make a very conscious decision to make sure that I was doing work that wasn't necessarily given to me, and that people didn't necessarily think that I would be able to do.
Charlize Theron
I'm happy for people who want to get married but it's not my thing. I'm extremely happy in my relationship and I would love to have kids.
Charlize Theron
