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
I didn't grow up with a mother telling me what was under my clothes was bad or evil.
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 think there is a part of me that's always a little bit like, Why would I torture myself? Just in case you forgot how big the shoes are you're walking in, take a look again
Charlize Theron
I think some of the most creative work is coming out of television. I felt it's very immediate and I like that. It's really fast. It's got a pace to it, and that's why I think everybody in my field wants to just do good material.

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 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 think a sense of humor is a very personal thing, and I don't know if I am talented enough to do romantic comedies.
Charlize Theron
You just don't know if you'll be around tomorrow. You just don't.
Charlize Theron
Modeling was never a passion of mine.
Charlize Theron
I think there is a part of me that's always a little bit like, Why would I torture myself? Just in case you forgot how big the shoes are you're walking in, take a look again. Like, I think I pussy out. So, I'm not that kind of person.
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 know that I'm only as good as I am because of the things that I allow into myself and into my soul, because that's the stuff that I project back out.
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
There's only so much you can do, but if somebody doesn't give you a chance there is nothing you can do.
