Charlize says, "I've always been very honest in saying I wanted a family. I've always known I wanted a family. I don't think my mom could wait any more! Jackson is incredible, the greatest gift. He is the coolest kid ever. I hope to be like my mom. Fair, though, loving, and supportive. My mom has made it possible for me to be who I am. Our family is everything. Her greatest skill was encouraging me to find my own person and own independence." Charlize wishes to be a great mother like her mother Gerda!
