More quotes by Charlize Theron

Image
The tone is so important to a film, and that tone can really make something fall or succeed.
Charlize Theron
Image
I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled.
Charlize Theron
Image
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
Image
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. Like, I think I pussy out. So, I'm not that kind of person.
Charlize Theron
Image
I've never been a fan of labels. I think its very easy to kind of look at somebody and just kind of throw a label on them 'They're crazy.'
Charlize Theron
Image
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
Image
I think good filmmaking is when you really hold the mirror up truthfully, and you don't angle it and you don't hide things with smoke and mirrors.
Charlize Theron
Image
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
Image
When I'm working I don't have room to think about myself and my own issues. It's really freeing. There is no room for me, which is really nice.
Charlize Theron
Image
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
Image
You just don't know if you'll be around tomorrow. You just don't.
Charlize Theron
Image
I had these fangs because I had jaundice when I was a kid and I was put on so many antibiotics that my teeth rotted. They had to cut them out. So I never had milk teeth. That was tough, you know, being in school having photos taken while I was pretending I had teeth. It was hideous.
Charlize Theron
Image
I think there is a great quote - and I feel horrible that I don't know who said this - but it was a great quote, it says, The only difference between all of us are the ones who are loved and the ones who are not.
Charlize Theron
Image
You always have this fear in a movie of just being somebody's woman.
Charlize Theron
Image
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
Image
You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened.
Charlize Theron
Image
You get yourself out there and you work hard, and you hope that word of mouth carries and one day somebody will actually step up to the plate and say, 'I believe that you can do this.'
Charlize Theron
Image
I want to be in a good movie, and so the narrative is way more important.
Charlize Theron
Image
When a person lives a very happy life they become beautiful.
Charlize Theron
Image
And I was victim to that very early in my career, where I would go into auditions, and I'd be wearing a big T shirt, a big baggy T shirt and loose jeans. You know, to try and show people that there was more to me than just that.
