Charlize Theron named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive 2007  
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

 

I like Charlize Theron.  She smokes ciggies and pot, loves animals, knows her politics, is wordly, and does not try to be your typical Hollywood girl.  Esquire loves, her, too, because she was just named their Sexiest Woman Alivein 2007.  She's a 32-year old actress that's not afraid to look ugly on film if it means the audience will relate to her - and that's beautiful.

"The changes are small, but they add up," she told Esquire about America today.  "A lot of changes in one lifetime.  When I was a little girl in South Africa [yup, that's where she was born], people pointed to America as a sort of example.  It seemed sensible, principled, governed in an admirable way...[now] wherever I go, no one wants to talk about America as a superpower.  It's all about India and China.  What's their model?  What's next for them?  They're the superpowers now.  Not us."

"People still say, What do you know?  You're an African.  But they said that to me in Africa, too.  'Go back to Europe.'  But I f*cking told them I was an African.  I know what I am now, too.  I'm American.  I will f*cking say it, too.  I grew up in a country that learned the lesson that you can't just impose your way of life on twenty-six different kinds of people just because you call yourself righteous.  I think there are lessons this country still ahs to learn.  Doesn't mean they can't be learned."

She knows people judge her for everything.

"I only worry about the details.  People read that you have a drink, or God forbid, you have a cigarette in your hand while you're drinking, and all of a sudden you're falling apart."
