Charlize Theron
I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.
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
My whole concept in life is if you're not using it, you should give it to somebody else so they can use it.
