My character is fictional, but she is based on all the women who fought the sexual harassment case, and everything you see in the film actually happened. (Charlize Theron)
I feel so fortunate that I am in a relationship with a wonderful man. I find it incredibly unfair that because of our sexual preference, we have the rights that we have, and that, because of someone else's sexual preference, they don't have those same rights. (Charlize Theron)
I am human, and, yeah, I have very bad days. (Charlize Theron)
Yet there's a hunger in me still. I'm like only beginning. I feel like I still have so much to learn. (Charlize Theron)
If I don't like seeing myself on the screen, I think when I start seeing that, that's when I think I'll stop. (Charlize Theron)
It's our job as filmmakers to reflect the world right now, and this year has proven that you can make these movies and make them not taste like medicine. (Charlize Theron)
because thanks to women like her, I get to work and live in a very safe environment. I respect women who come from harsher landscapes, where survival is much harder than in cities, because they don't wallow in self-pity. They have to survive, so they get up and move on. (Charlize Theron)
I had called her up a couple of weeks before then, because I had heard this vicious rumour that she did not like the movie. It was very upsetting for me. I am very sensitive to that, because I am portraying her life and did not want her to be unhappy. (Charlize Theron)
a very unique girl, a free spirit. I see all the beauty and childlike innocence in life. (Charlize Theron)
No matter how sexual this character is and how comfortable she is with her sexuality, we obviously knew that we couldn't go as far with the outfits as Peter had designed for her. We still tried to stay true to that element and the knowledge that she's very independent and very comfortable within her skin. She's not shy. She's a very strong person. When you play with those elements of sexuality, it makes it really fun. (Charlize Theron)
This is very surreal for me because two years ago, I stood right here and won my Oscar for 'Monster. (Charlize Theron)
I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe. (Charlize Theron)
She's just kind of popped her head back into her shell, but I never thought of her as anything other than just a very normal girl who was, I thought, quite pretty. (Charlize Theron)
I had big dreams when I came here, but this is an incredibly amazing gift ... two cherries on top of the cake. (Charlize Theron)
This case was only settled seven years ago, and you go, 'How dare you sit back as a young female and think the feminist movement happened in the '60s, some bras were burned and now everything is fine' (Charlize Theron)
