More quotes by 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
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

Charlize Theron
My job is to be a blank canvas & embody the characters that I'm playing.

Charlize Theron
The human condition is all about us pretending to be something sometimes that we're not. When you get into the core of people kind of stripping all of that away, that's for me, as an actor, always the most fun stuff to do.
Charlize Theron
I don't believe in making five-year plans. I don't want to say, Yes, I want to have children in the next five years, because I don't know. I've always known that I'd like to be a mom, but I don't want to live by a schedule. If I [did], I wouldn't be living in the moment.
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
I've always said that I worry about being with a man who doesn't flirt.
Charlize Theron
It's so great as an actor to get the opportunity to do something that's incredibly truthful.
Charlize Theron

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
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
I don't really watch a lot of television, and I would watch mindless, mindless television.
