Charlize Theron

When they watch a movie and they know that you're in a relationship, you just kind of watch that constantly.

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.

I'd love to get pajamas. Good, nice and warm flannel ones.

I think in life we want to challenge ourselves.

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.

If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.

My mom has made it possible for me to be who I am. Our family is everything. Her greatest skill was encouraging me to find my own person and own independence.

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.

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.

I feel 100% sure that I have the career that I have today because of independent filmmaking.

I've always been very aware of balance and, even before I had a child, my life always takes priority to my work.
