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.

There's nothing I despise more than people trying to be something that they're not.

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.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I don't go down the road of condemning.

Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives.
