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.

More quotes by Charlize Theron
We value some lives more than others.
Charlize Theron
I think there is a great quote - and I feel horrible that I don't know who said this - but it was a great quote, it says, The only difference between all of us are the ones who are loved and the ones who are not.
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 don't believe in charmed lives. I think that tragedy is part of the lesson you learn to lift yourself up, to pick yourself up and to move on.
Charlize Theron
I had these fangs because I had jaundice when I was a kid and I was put on so many antibiotics that my teeth rotted. They had to cut them out. So I never had milk teeth. That was tough, you know, being in school having photos taken while I was pretending I had teeth. It was hideous.
Charlize Theron
It's pretty impossible to be a South African and not have been personally affected by HIV or AIDS.
Charlize Theron
You just don't know if you'll be around tomorrow. You just don't.
Charlize Theron
I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.
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
I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me.
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
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
I want to be in a good movie, and so the narrative is way more important.
Charlize Theron
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
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
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
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.
Charlize Theron
At least I know that one film-maker in my career has had the initiative to come to me and thought of me as being capable of doing interesting and complicated work, and so I have a new-found belief that other film-makers will see me in a different way, the way that Patty did.
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 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
