Charlize Theron Believe Quotations

I don't believe in making five-year plans. I don't want to say, "Yes, I want to have children in the next five years," because I don't know. I've always known that I'd like to be a mom, but I don't want to live by a schedule. If I [did], I wouldn't be living in the moment.

I do think that when you're specifically working in a country like South Africa, you have to be able to be aware of the cultural truth of what people are raised in and believe in and how they function within their society.

You get yourself out there and you work hard and you hope that word of mouth kind of carries and one day somebody will actually step up to the plate and say "I believe that you can do this."

I don't believe in charmed lives. I think that tragedy is part of the lesson you learn to lift yourself up, to pick yourself up and to move on.

I couldn't change how people thought of me, ... I had to believe someone would come along and believe in me enough to give me a chance, and that's what happened.
