More quotes by Charlize Theron
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
There's an instant access to luxury that I think women really appreciate.
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
The tone is so important to a film, and that tone can really make something fall or succeed.
Charlize Theron
I was going to go to Macchu Picchu and then I just ended up working the whole year.
Charlize Theron
When they watch a movie and they know that you're in a relationship, you just kind of watch that constantly.
Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron
You are only as great as the opportunities that are given to you.
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
There's only so much you can do, but if somebody doesn't give you a chance there is nothing you can do.
Charlize Theron
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.
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
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
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 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
As you get older, you get wrinkles and your boobs sag. But you get wisdom, too. So it's not all bad!
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 think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled.
Charlize Theron
My mother is one of those very unusual, superb human beings-she's innately strong and incredibly smart. She created an environment for me to explore who I was.
Charlize Theron
Beauty is more than skin deep.
