Charlize Theron
My thoughts and love go out to the Mandela family. Rest in peace Madiba. You will be missed, but your impact on this world will live forever.
Charlize Theron
You get yourself out there and you work hard, and you hope that word of mouth carries and one day somebody will actually step up to the plate and say, 'I believe that you can do this.'
Charlize Theron
I'm 50-50 on glamour stuff. I'd rather put on a pair of jeans and get on my Harley and act like a guy.
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
I havent lost my culture, just my accent.
Charlize Theron
You have to be able to feel like you can play way outside of the box. If you're with a great filmmaker and someone you can trust, that's encouraged, and Seth was that kind of filmmaker and co-star.
Charlize Theron
You're either a really good hooker or a really good mom. That kind of conflicted nature is very much a part of being a woman.

Right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights. I have so many friends who are gays and lesbians who would so badly want to get married, that I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself [if I got married before they could].
Charlize Theron
I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in and closing the door. I will lie in bed and not be able to sleep because I'll say to myself: 'I think I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn't be there.'
Charlize Theron
I'm an Academy Award winner. I'm serious.
Charlize Theron
I don't really watch a lot of television, and I would watch mindless, mindless television.
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 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
People always say to me, What's wrong with Hollywood? They don't want to make female-driven movies. And that's not where the problem lies. It lies with us, in society. When we make these movies, nobody goes to see them.
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
The tone is so important to a film, and that tone can really make something fall or succeed.
Charlize Theron
I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled.
