More quotes by Charlize Theron
I don't think you can create anything interesting from a comfort zone. You have to work from a place of fear and failure.
Charlize Theron
In the story, I think as an actor you're just trying to fit into the world.
Charlize Theron
You're either a really good hooker or a really good mom. That kind of conflicted nature is very much a part of being a woman.
Charlize Theron
I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I don't want to be anything other than what we are. I want to just be a woman.
Charlize Theron
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
It's so great as an actor to get the opportunity to do something that's incredibly truthful.
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 grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to.
Charlize Theron
When a person lives a very happy life they become beautiful.
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'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
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 never take that for granted, but I'm always very aware that I'm one person and I can't wear everything.
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
I havent lost my culture, just my accent.
Charlize Theron
If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.
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
The tone is so important to a film, and that tone can really make something fall or succeed.
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
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.
