No need trying to figure out when Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend will tie the knot.

“I always knew that I didn’t want to get married,” Theron, 32, says in the new issue of W magazine. But she adds, “I’ve always known that I’d be a mom from the time I was a little girl.”

As for their seven-year-romance, Theron, no surprise, won’t reveal too much. When asked to describe the relationship, the Oscar winner adopts a “cavewoman grunt,” according to writer Gabriel Snyder, and says:

"Man, woman. Like to touch each other.”

Theron doesn’t have such sweet words for critics who slam her for taking on so many “ugly” roles in order to hide her beauty. “Look, I get it,” she says. “Monster was a transformation...[But] North Country was dirt. That’s what happens when you go into a mine. In the Valley of Elah—that’s when I took real offense, because that was just my real hair color and me with no makeup.”

The actress, who will next be seen opposite Will Smith in Hancock, insists her biggest transformation is on the red carpet. “It’s great fun when you have three people coming to your house, and one’s doing your nails, one’s doing your hair and one’s doing your makeup. Two hours later, you look gorgeous,” she said. “But that’s not my life.”
