More quotes by Charlize Theron
I am a relationship girl. That's kind of just how I'm made... When you're in my life, it's actually very contained.
Charlize Theron
I'd rather put on a pair of jeans and get on my Harley and act like a guy.
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 think actors who know their job know that's how you do it. You don't show up and make people miserable. That poor grip who's standing there, he just wants to feed his family. He doesn't need to hear about your psychosis on life and love and death.
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

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
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
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
I can be a really good mother because I'm happy.
Charlize Theron
I was going to go to Macchu Picchu and then I just ended up working the whole year.
Charlize Theron
There's an instant access to luxury that I think women really appreciate.
Charlize Theron
You always have this fear in a movie of just being somebody's woman.
Charlize Theron
I want to be in a good movie, and so the narrative is way more important.
Charlize Theron
I want my son to grow up with a mom that he could see and look at her life with all the mistakes and with all the failures and all the flaws and say, My mom lived an authentic life. That was the life she wanted to live.
Charlize Theron
I love being a woman and I love being feminine.
Charlize Theron
I have OCD, which is not fun. I have to be incredibly tidy and organized or it messes with my mind and switches off on me.
