More quotes by Charlize Theron
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
In the story, I think as an actor you're just trying to fit into the world.
Charlize Theron
If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.
Charlize Theron
Well, life is dark. We live in a very dark world. When they call them dark films it annoys me, because they're very real stories. They're stories I have seen or experienced or witnessed, and coming from that place, that is the hope of humanity.
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 look at my career and how I'm doing it now. I feel like there is something authentic in that process that I still try not to over manipulate. When I feel something, I try to listen to that.
Charlize Theron
I'd rather put on a pair of jeans and get on my Harley and act like a guy.
Charlize Theron
I think of myself as a highly sexual creature.
Charlize Theron
You have to discipline yourself and not carry the character with you. You need to switch it off and take time to re-energize.
Charlize Theron
It's pretty impossible to be a South African and not have been personally affected by HIV or AIDS.
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
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
My job is to be a blank canvas & embody the characters that I'm playing.
Charlize Theron
People always say to me, What's wrong with Hollywood? They don't want to make female-driven movies. And that's not where the problem lies. It lies with us, in society. When we make these movies, nobody goes to see them.
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
I like being a cog in a wheel. I like being a small aspect of a much bigger thing, and I think my interest in that takes the pressure of myself.
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
When they watch a movie and they know that you're in a relationship, you just kind of watch that constantly.
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
You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened.
