Charlize Theron not fixated on love

Charlize Theron says there are more important things in life than chasing a love story.

The Hollywood actress stars alongside Patrick Wilson in the new comedy-drama Young Adult. Charlize plays divorced woman Mavis Gary, who returns to her small hometown to win back her happily married high school sweetheart, portrayed by Patrick.

Charlize doesnt have the same mentality as her film character.

When you are a teenager you think that love is the only important thing in your life. The only thing you need. But when you grow up you realise that love is not enough. You understand that there are things more important than a love story, she explained in an interview with Gioia magazine.

Charlize has talked about her upbringing.

The stunning star says she was always allowed her to express her creativity.

Not at all, she responded when asked if she was a troublesome teen. I was a very quiet and imaginative girl. I grew up on a farm in South Africa and I was surrounded by incredible scenery. There I learned to dream.

My parents have taught me to be honest and not to pretend to be what I am not.
