More quotes by Charlize Theron
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
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 think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled.
Charlize Theron
It's pretty impossible to be a South African and not have been personally affected by HIV or AIDS.
Charlize Theron
We value some lives more than others.
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
At the end of the day, I'd much rather do a piece about people in a story that I find riveting and intriguing and moving, versus really carrying some kind of heavy political agenda on my sleeve. That's not who I am.
Charlize Theron
I love being a woman and I love being feminine.
Charlize Theron
I think good filmmaking is when you really hold the mirror up truthfully, and you don't angle it and you don't hide things with smoke and mirrors.
Charlize Theron
I think actors who know their job know that's how you do it. You don't show up and make people miserable. That poor grip who's standing there, he just wants to feed his family. He doesn't need to hear about your psychosis on life and love and death.
Charlize Theron
I am going home and I think in a week or so, hopefully, I'll be done with all the press stuff, and then I can kind of into my cave and start preparing for Mad Max.
Charlize Theron
I love fragrance for the pure fact that I think it's something that women utilize in a way to make themselves feel good, and I think this idea that we do it for men or for other people is such a misconception.
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 don't think you can create anything interesting from a comfort zone. You have to work from a place of fear and failure.
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
As you get older, you get wrinkles and your boobs sag. But you get wisdom, too. So it's not all bad!
Charlize Theron
Marriage equality is about more than just marriage. It's about something greater. It's about acceptance.
Charlize Theron
I'm voting for Barack Obama. He's inspiring.
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
My job is to be a blank canvas & embody the characters that I'm playing.
