Charlize Theron

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.

I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.

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.

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.

You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened.

Marriage equality is about more than just marriage. It's about something greater. It's about acceptance.

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.

Countries and states which have capital punishment have a much higher rate of murder and crime than countries that do not, so that makes sense to me, and the moral question - I struggle with it morally.

So far I'm not surprised by anything about being a mom. It's all pretty great - but that's what I expected.

I had these fangs because I had jaundice when I was a kid and I was put on so many antibiotics that my teeth rotted. They had to cut them out. So I never had milk teeth. That was tough, you know, being in school having photos taken while I was pretending I had teeth. It was hideous.

I hate actors who come and quote Nietzsche.
