“I come from a ballet background; I did ballet for 12 years and I consider that my theater. I told stories with my body for 12 years and then came into this industry. I couldn't let go of that and it's still important to me. I really wanted to learn the skills of what Aeon had. I wanted to learn gymnastics; I didn't want to just be on wires and fake everything. I learned some skills I never thought I would learn.”
“Action films have been very testosterone-driven, not that that's a bad thing. But there is an interesting sexuality that I don't think has been that well explored in that action world, which is something women could bring to that genre.”
“When you're playing with aspects of sexuality, certain things have to be hidden. That's what my mother always used to tell me, ... I wanted to stay as true as possible to the original character, but didn't feel the need to go as far with the costume.”
“All we discussed (with Caro) was what is the truth of this woman and the life that she's led, ... All of a sudden, when you get the answer to the emotional side, the physical elements just come quite organically.”
[On marriage]: "I'm happy for people who want to get married but it's not my thing. I'm extremely happy in my relationship and I would love to have kids."
“I'm going to kiss your (butt) too — but literally,”
“There's only so much you can do, but if somebody doesn't give you a chance there is nothing you can do.”
"Women have conquered the world. And with everything we go through, it's about time we had a female president. I don't think we're that far away, but it should have happened already. I wouldn't be surprised if Hillary Rodham Clinton runs - I really admire her."
“[The actress is going for a change of pace next. She's about to guest-star on five episodes of Fox's sitcom Arrested Development .] I am a huge fan of the show, and I'm very picky with my comedy, ... I don't get to do comedy very often, and when they asked me, I jumped at the opportunity. I was ready to do something for fun.”
“Besides, ... I’m not a big pampering girl anyway.”
“You can't control those things. When they happen, it's great, but if you put too much emphasis on that, you lose track of what you're supposed to be doing and the work itself.”
“If you were a single mom, there's no way to support yourself and your kids by working in a hair salon, ... It's about a woman who decides to go and do what was considered a man's job, but was treated quite horribly for it and decides she has to fight for her rights when everyone thinks she should just shut up and take it.”
"I was always Mama's girl, and I always felt like her protector." - on the revaltion that Charlize's mother shot and killed Charlize's father while he was in a drunken rage. The shooting was ruled self-defense. "At first I found it really hard using three different English accents: South African, faking the American, faking the accent required by the job. I decided to make it easier for myself and just do one. I haven't lost my culture, just my accent."
“I can't change the way I look nor can I sit back and let that rule my life when I know in my heart that I'm a real girl,”
“"He walked me home and made out with me. That was my second kiss and he got to second base too. Then there was Ben - he was my first dry hump."”
"I've always been very proud to be a South African and I've always been very honest to people about that. And whatever I can do in my power I promise you I will do. I don't think it's too much pressure. I think it's our duty as citizens of this country. You don't have to win an Oscar to do something good for your country. We all can do that. If I can be an encouragement for that I'll be glad to be that."
“I'd love to get pajamas. Good, nice and warm flannel ones.”
"If people, critics respond to the film there [Toronto Film Festival], it starts a nice little wave of chat, which for a movie like North Country (2005) is really important. It's one of those films that travels by word of mouth." [On the importance of the Toronto Film Festival for smaller films]
“I had big dreams when I came here, but this is an incredibly amazing gift, ... If somebody had told me then that this would have happened one day, I would have laughed in their face.”
“I just went through that, so for me to be thinking about it again would just seem very selfish,”
I'm 50-50 on glamour stuff. I'd rather put on a pair of jeans and get on my Harley and act like a guy.
“If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.”
"I think of myself as a highly sexual creature. I have to use that. I have no choice. I like it. I didn't grow up with a mother telling me what was under my clothes was bad or evil."
“The celebrity status in Hollywood has gotten really out of control,”
“It's so hush hush that they have sworn everyone to absolute secrecy and haven't revealed the exact date or location yet.”
“We don't go through life with it all being smooth sailing. ... We all understand situations where you know it's swim or drown. It's a choice you have to make, and sometimes we surprise ourselves, when we actually make that choice and start swimming, with how well we can do it.”
“Like one of those snow-globe things, it's this fragile little ball of perfection, and I think people have forgotten what actors do. After a while, I was like, `Well, what did you want me to do? Did you want me to play this woman and not look like her?'”
