Speaking on a New York Times panel, the 36-year-old said she got inspiration for playing an ex-high school 'mean girl' who refuses to grow up in Young Adult by taking note of the real-life issues of women her age.

"I'm pretty amazed by Hello Kitty. I see so many women in their thirties walking around in Hello Kitty sh*t and nobody is concerned for them," Charlize said. "It's the one iconic teenage symbol that seems okay for women in their thirties? The world seems to not have an issue with it."

True, Charlize, but there are worse pop-culture phenomenons out there than Hello Kitty ... haven't you ever seen Keeping Up with the Kardashians?
