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 186 quotes

I've always been comfortable ...

I've always been comfortable with my sexuality. I'm blessed to have been raised by a woman who never made me feel ashamed about what's underneath my clothes. That's a part of me and I don't run away from it.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

You're either a really good h...

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 186 quotes

You have to be able to feel l...

You have to be able to feel like you can play way outside of the box. If you're with a great filmmaker and someone you can trust, that's encouraged, and Seth was that kind of filmmaker and co-star.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

When I'm naked, I really like...

When I'm naked, I really like to do push-ups. No. I think I really tackle it like everything else. If you're going to commit yourself to playing something, you have to be able to understand it. If you can understand it, then you can do it and go balls out with it. But, I've never been in a position where I've been like, "This doesn't feel right." I wouldn't do it, if it was that. I like the shock value of it. I think that, if you use it correctly, it's pretty effective, as long as I'm lit really, really, really well.

I grew up during apartheid; there was never a day in South Africa that was just great. I love that I've had success as an actor and producer, but I know the thing my children will know most about is the work I've done with HIV. Success in life is all about humanity.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

I know that I'm only as good ...

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 186 quotes

People need to understand tha...

People need to understand that what happens in people's homes and behind closed doors, unless you were there, you really shouldn't make any analogy or any assumption, which writers do quite a bit. It's not something I ever for one second thought about. This is not my life story, and I've never told my life story, and I have no interest in telling my life story.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

I make a real effort to try a...

I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

I don't think you can create ...

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 186 quotes

Tommy [ Lee Jones] doesn't su...

Tommy [ Lee Jones] doesn't suffer fools easily. I think everybody knows that, but I have great respect for someone that's very direct and very honest. I don't have thin skin so I'm okay with that.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

We just need to put our foot ...

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 186 quotes

've had good friends who got ...

've had good friends who got married after they've been together for years and they've said that it was the "next step" for them. Or, they've said, "You just can't bail out anymore." And I've wondered, What made you think you could just bail out before [the wedding]? You don't invest that kind of time and energy with somebody and then just go, "All right, see you later."

Men are like fine wines - the older they get, the better they get.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

I love that old glamour look....

I love that old glamour look. I think it's because I grew up on it.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

I do this because I'm an observer of people. That's why I want to be an actor. I'm fascinated by human beings and the circumstances they find themselves in.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

I'm 50-50 on glamour stuff. I'd rather put on a pair of jeans and get on my Harley and act like a guy.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

I think that women find their...

I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

You choose the life you want ...

You choose the life you want for yourself, and then you just shut up and go about it. That's how I've lived my life.

Charlize Theron 186 quotes

It's ironic that we've built ...

It's ironic that we've built the beauty world around 20-year-olds, when they have no f - kin' concept about wisdom, what life is about, having a few relationships below [their] belt and feeling hardships, to grow into [their] skin and feel confident within [themselves] and to feel the value of who [they] are, not because of a man or because of something like that. And I think that's such a beautiful thing.
