Charlize Theron
I love the idea of longevity in this career. But [producing] is not about, Let me do this because this might happen 20 years down the line. Sleepwalking wasn't a vehicle for me, it was a film that pushed the envelope. I want to produce good stories, versus creating a niche where I can look after myself as an actor.
Charlize Theron
I do think that when you're specifically working in a country like South Africa, you have to be able to be aware of the cultural truth of what people are raised in and believe in and how they function within their society.
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'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?'
