More quotes by 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
So how critics will perceive your film or your work, or whether your movie is going to make $100 million at the box office, or whether you are going to be winning any awards - well, you have no control over that.
Charlize Theron
You just don't know if you'll be around tomorrow. You just don't.
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
People are so involved with immediate care, but at the same time there needs to be investment in educating people as adolescents when they're still HIV negative.
Charlize Theron
That's why I like my job so much, because at the end of the day they're fruits of labor that you don't pick very easily. And I love that.
Charlize Theron
I'm not a fan of justifying bad behavior or justifying why people are the way they are. I think that's a cop out. I don't have a lot of empathy for that.
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'm happy for people who want to get married but it's not my thing. I'm extremely happy in my relationship and I would love to have kids.
Charlize Theron
I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.
Charlize Theron
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.
Charlize Theron
As you get older, you get wrinkles and your boobs sag. But you get wisdom, too. So it's not all bad!
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
From the moment this baby came into our home, those two dogs have never been more in love. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. People keep saying, 'Oh, you're a single mom.' I'm like, 'Actually, I'm not. I've got two boys helping.'
Charlize Theron
I never take that for granted, but I'm always very aware that I'm one person and I can't wear everything.
Charlize Theron
In the story, I think as an actor you're just trying to fit into the 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
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
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?'
Charlize Theron
I can be a really good mother because I'm happy.
