Charlize Theron thinks celebrities who love being in the media spotlight are "ugly."

The 'Monster' actress has no desire to be photographed at star-studded parties and does not understand why some of her peers bow to public pressure.

She said: "It comes across as this really sad need for approval. I've heard people make comments like, 'You don't really want to be in the tabloids but you need to be for your career.' They believe it's actually important. It's not. It's ugly."

"People say, 'That's your job.' It really isn't, actually. It's not my job to go out there and make an a*s out of myself."

The star also argued against the idea that celebrities should give up their right to privacy in exchange for money and fame.

She added to GQ magazine: "Like, your life belongs to us now? That's the deal? I didn't get that memo. It wasn't sent to me and I didn't sign it. So, f**k you."
