Zitat des Tages von Charlize Theron:
I was going to go to Macchu Picchu and then I just ended up working the whole year.
I can only hope to be 10 percent of the mom mine was to me. She encouraged me to be confident and enjoy life. That's what I want for my son.
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.
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.
I guess because I pay so much attention to the physical part of the character, I don't look upon it as like Charlize Theron up there. I don't think of them as like Charlize Theron films.
So I did that for a long time in my career, and I waited for parts to play myself just physically down a little bit. But I do feel like I'm at a place in my career now where I don't necessarily fret about that too much anymore.
If I knew that 3D was going to be such a big deal, I would have gotten that boob job 10 years ago.
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.
And doing a film in that period, and having to really celebrate what they wore back then, how they sat and how they spoke. You know, what the etiquette was back then for a lady. All of those things are like putting on a wig and transforming yourself, which I love.
Something I learned very early on in my career is that there are a lot of things that you do not have any power over.
So how critics will perceive your film or your work, or whether your movie is going to make $100 million at the box office, or whether you are going to be winning any awards - well, you have no control over that.
I think of myself as a highly sexual creature.
I'm happy for people who want to get married. It's not my thing.
There's nothing I despise more than people trying to be something that they're not.
There's only so much you can do, but if somebody doesn't give you a chance there is nothing you can do.
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.
I have very talented people dress me and put my makeup on, stuff like that. But I do love that look, and I think it's maybe because I grew up on that old glamour.
And I do think that earlier in my career, I did make a very conscious decision to make sure that I was doing work that wasn't necessarily given to me, and that people didn't necessarily think that I would be able to do.
If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.
I have OCD, which is not fun. I have to be incredibly tidy and organized or it messes with my mind and switches off on me.
I feel 100% sure that I have the career that I have today because of independent filmmaking.
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.
I mean, I'm new but I've always been very interested in film making process and I've been lucky enough to work with film makers in my past that have been very encouraging to let me hang around. I get so emotionally vested - that the producer part of me was natural.
Hey, I'm a girl, and we like to play dress-up.
I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.
I guess there are very few actors that I've worked with that I would like to work with again. You never think you'll have that chance and, if we didn't do Italian Job together, there wouldn't be another one that could be right.
Marriage equality is about more than just marriage. It's about something greater. It's about acceptance.
I've always been very aware of balance and, even before I had a child, my life always takes priority to my work.
You can never get to a place of comfort in this business. As soon as you hit that little cushy spot, somebody's gonna kick you out. So I have a constant need to do it better.
When I'm working I don't have room to think about myself and my own issues. It's really freeing. There is no room for me, which is really nice.
I'm always open to a relationship, but I'm not putting those feelers out there now.
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.
I hate actors who come and quote Nietzsche.
I think substitution is a huge part of acting, but I don't personalise my work that much.
I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in and closing the door. I will lie in bed and not be able to sleep because I'll say to myself: 'I think I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn't be there.'
At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.
