Pride comes from a place of real acknowledgment that somebody's actually living their life for themselves, and I want to be that example for my son.
Charlize Theron
Image
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
Image
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.

Men are like fine wines - the older they get, the better they get.
Charlize Theron
Image
When they watch a movie and they know that you're in a relationship, you just kind of watch that constantly.
Charlize Theron
Image
I try to hang on to as much mystery as possible. How can we go through our lives not wanting to have any element of surprise?’
Charlize Theron
Image
I've never been a fan of labels. I think its very easy to kind of look at somebody and just kind of throw a label on them 'They're crazy.'
Charlize Theron

We value some lives more than others.
Charlize Theron
Image
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
Image
I am a relationship girl. That's kind of just how I'm made... When you're in my life, it's actually very contained.
Charlize Theron
Image
Well, life is dark. We live in a very dark world. When they call them dark films it annoys me, because they're very real stories. They're stories I have seen or experienced or witnessed, and coming from that place, that is the hope of humanity.

I only worked on Men of Honor for three weeks, but I walked away with so much. Because Bob is the kind of actor who gives you the opportunity to really go there. And we really had to go there. I mean, we were both playing drunks.
