More quotes by Charlize Theron
When a person lives a very happy life they become beautiful.
Charlize Theron
Modeling was never a passion of mine.
Charlize Theron
I am South African and I am so aware, even as a white, privileged South African, that even within our community of privilege the idea of talking about sex or sexual preference or sexual identity or anything like that was just, nobody ever did that and nobody ever felt comfortable doing that.
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
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
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 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
The thing I noticed is that a lot of times great material can get ruined if its not in the right hands.
Charlize Theron
[If you want to] ask the question what is beautiful? It's the life that you lead. It's the life that all women lead.
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
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
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
If I knew that 3D was going to be such a big deal, I would have gotten that boob job 10 years ago.
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
I was going to go to Macchu Picchu and then I just ended up working the whole year.
Charlize Theron
You have to be able to feel like you can play way outside of the box. If you're with a great filmmaker and someone you can trust, that's encouraged, and Seth was that kind of filmmaker and co-star.
Charlize Theron
We just need to put our foot down. This is a good time for us to bring this to a place of fairness, and girls need to know that being a feminist is a good thing. It doesn't mean that you hate men. It means equal rights. If you're doing the same job, you should be compensated and treated in the same way.
Charlize Theron
I think there is a part of me that's always a little bit like, Why would I torture myself? Just in case you forgot how big the shoes are you're walking in, take a look again
Charlize Theron
I've tried most of my career to transform myself towards characters.
Charlize Theron
I'm voting for Barack Obama. He's inspiring.
