More quotes by Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron
Modeling was never a passion of mine.
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
I never take that for granted, but I'm always very aware that I'm one person and I can't wear everything.
Charlize Theron
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

Charlize Theron
I think I have a real interest in filmmaking, and it's nice when I can go and do that sometimes. Then it's also great to not do it and not have the responsibility .
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
Hey, I'm a girl, and we like to play dress-up.
Charlize Theron
I grew up during apartheid there was never a day in South Africa that was just great. I love that I've had success as an actor and producer, but I know the thing my children will know most about is the work I've done with HIV. Success in life is all about humanity.
Charlize Theron
I think a sense of humor is a very personal thing, and I don't know if I am talented enough to do romantic comedies.
