More quotes by Charlize Theron
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.
Charlize Theron
Of course you want your son, your children, to be proud of you.
Charlize Theron
You just don't know if you'll be around tomorrow. You just don't.
Charlize Theron
When I'm working I don't have room to think about myself and my own issues. It's really freeing. There is no room for me, which is really nice.
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 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
You always have this fear in a movie of just being somebody's woman.
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
It's in the eyes, mostly. Don't listen just to the other actor's lines. Look at - and listen to - their eyes. That's where the emotion comes through.
Charlize Theron
If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.
Charlize Theron
From the moment this baby came into our home, those two dogs have never been more in love. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. People keep saying, 'Oh, you're a single mom.' I'm like, 'Actually, I'm not. I've got two boys helping.'
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 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 just want to make good movies. Honestly, the only difference for me with this stuff is that there is more people on the set.
Charlize Theron
I'm voting for Barack Obama. He's inspiring.
Charlize Theron
I've tried most of my career to transform myself towards characters.
Charlize Theron
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.
Charlize Theron
It's pretty impossible to be a South African and not have been personally affected by HIV or AIDS.
Charlize Theron
Actors - we're selfish, but we can't think about the work in that kind of selfish manner. I think that you have to step away from yourself, if you're going to do it. Otherwise don't do it otherwise why do it?
Charlize Theron
I've always known I wanted a family.
