More quotes by Charlize Theron
My job is to be a blank canvas & embody the characters that I'm playing.
Charlize Theron
I have very talented people dress me and put my makeup on, stuff like that. But I do love that look, and I think it's maybe because I grew up on that old glamour.
Charlize Theron
I don't think you can create anything interesting from a comfort zone. You have to work from a place of fear and failure.
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
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
As you get older, you get wrinkles and your boobs sag. But you get wisdom, too. So it's not all bad!
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 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.
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
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
I've always known I wanted a family.
Charlize Theron
I think I have a real interest in filmmaking, and it's nice when I can go and do that sometimes. Then it's also great to not do it and not have the responsibility .
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 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'm open to anything, dude. I'm open to anything. That's what I would ask the aliens. I'd be like, Do you watch 'Game of Thrones?'
Charlize Theron
I want to be in a good movie, and so the narrative is way more important.
Charlize Theron
At the end of the day, I'd much rather do a piece about people in a story that I find riveting and intriguing and moving, versus really carrying some kind of heavy political agenda on my sleeve. That's not who I am.
Charlize Theron
And I do think that earlier in my career, I did make a very conscious decision to make sure that I was doing work that wasn't necessarily given to me, and that people didn't necessarily think that I would be able to do.
Charlize Theron
You're very in tune with, because actors are all different, and it's very tricky when you throw us all together because we all work differently. You want to get the best work out of every individual actor.
Charlize Theron
You just don't know if you'll be around tomorrow. You just don't.
Charlize Theron
