Let me tell you something - being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.

More quotes by Halle Berry
Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.
Halle Berry
I never wanted to be a model. My modelling career was nothing but a stepping stone to my acting career and that's all I ever saw it as. A pointless rock in the river that has to be stepped on in order to get to the meaningful oasis of acting.
Halle Berry
Nature has got it all wrong: When you are younger, it should be harder to get pregnant, and as you get older it should be easier.
Halle Berry
I no longer scramble blindly through hardship. I no longer emerge from a bad time feeling relieved just to have survived. Instead of despairing, I try to find the lesson within the experience.
Halle Berry
I'm not a fanatic about exercising. For me, it's about moderation and balance.
Halle Berry
I think I've evolved into someone pretty confident - in myself and in my skin.
Halle Berry
Actors always have to fight for the good parts. There are so few good roles written for women each year, and when one is written like this every actress in town covets the role.
Halle Berry
When I got to be about 16,17 I got into a beauty pageant and I was allowed to start playing around with makeup.
Halle Berry
I'm not the girl for superhigh fashion because I don't have the right body. When I want to get dressed up, I'm a Roberto Cavalli girl.
Halle Berry
When a young woman tells me that she wants to become and actor, I say, 'No, be a writer. Or go to business school and learn how to run a studio.' The only real change will come from behind the scenes.
Halle Berry
I knew that I was a good writer in high school and won awards, and I was the editor of my school newspaper. So I knew that I was a good writer and I wanted to somehow capitalize and sort of utilize a talent that I thought I had.
Halle Berry
It gave me strength and toughness because I had to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was.
Halle Berry
I want to do roles that are fun and challenging and I want to try different things. I don't want to keep doing Monster's Ball over and over and over again. I want to keep doing my career the way that I was doing it before I won the Oscar.
Halle Berry
I take care of myself, because I learned early on that I am the only person in life who's responsible for me.
Halle Berry
By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity.
Halle Berry
I believe that you can experience very profound moments of change in life...I never would have become an actress if I hadn't dropped out of high school. As a teenager, I was so driven to pursue my dreams that I made a decision to quit school at 17 so I could find my voice as an actress and eventually the profession embraced me.
Halle Berry
Here's the thing - you can't be careful about what you pick because what looks like on paper is going to be a great script has often turned out to be a disaster, so there's no way to know what's going to work or to pick the right thing.
Halle Berry
The fact is that I like thrillers and action movies. But what really fulfills me is getting out of my comfort zone, taking chances.
Halle Berry
Blackness is a state of mind and I identify with the black community. Mainly, because I realized, early on, when I walk into a room, people see a black woman, they don't see a white women. So out of that reason alone, I identify more with the black community.
Halle Berry
I'm not sad at all about turning 40.
Halle Berry
