Charlize Theron

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.

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.

I am human, and, yeah, I have very bad days.

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.

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.

I don't go down the road of condemning.
