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
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.

I only worked on Men of Honor for three weeks, but I walked away with so much. Because Bob is the kind of actor who gives you the opportunity to really go there. And we really had to go there. I mean, we were both playing drunks.
Charlize Theron
I think, like many women, I was judgmental toward women as they aged.
Charlize Theron
You choose the life you want for yourself, and then you just shut up and go about it. That's how I've lived my life.
Charlize Theron
My thoughts and love go out to the Mandela family. Rest in peace Madiba. You will be missed, but your impact on this world will live forever.
Charlize Theron
I try to hang on to as much mystery as possible. How can we go through our lives not wanting to have any element of surprise?’
Charlize Theron
You have to keep evolving.
Charlize Theron
The tone is so important to a film, and that tone can really make something fall or succeed.
Charlize Theron
I havent lost my culture, just my accent.
Charlize Theron

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.
