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.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

A quick shallow fry is a great way to transform leftovers, and no more so than in the case of risotto.
