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.

Charlize Theron
I've always known I wanted a family.
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.
Charlize Theron
That's why I like my job so much, because at the end of the day they're fruits of labor that you don't pick very easily. And I love that.

Right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights. I have so many friends who are gays and lesbians who would so badly want to get married, that I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself [if I got married before they could].

Charlize Theron
You can shave your head, but I've had to gain a lot of weight for movies, I've had to drop weight really fast for movies. I've had to learn accents or embody physical behaviors or twitches and things like that. And sometimes you take to some things easily and sometimes [not]. That's the challenge of the job.
Charlize Theron
I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.
Charlize Theron
I tend to ... if I decide to do a job, want to be able to trust my director...
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 havent lost my culture, just my accent.
Charlize Theron
I feel like I know South Africans. I feel like I know our culture.
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
My whole concept in life is if you're not using it, you should give it to somebody else so they can use it.
Charlize Theron
I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.
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 we're at a time where people just want to join together and cause change. People don't want to live like this any more.
