More quotes by 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 never even think about the physicality of roles, until honestly I get the gig and I think, 'OK, now what do I have to do in this one?' Like, I approach it thinking more about the character - do I respond to it? Is it something I think I can play? Does it seem like it'll be fun?
Halle Berry
I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.
Halle Berry
I realize as you age the less makeup you wear the younger you look.
Halle Berry
My mother never wanted me to focus on my physical self. She always said that beauty is what you do.
Halle Berry
What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.
Halle Berry
If you're of multiple races, you have a different challenge, a unique challenge of embracing all of who you are but still finding a way to identify yourself and I think that's often hard for us to do.
Halle Berry
After my divorce, I was struggling to find my own voice. Through reading, I gained my power back.
Halle Berry
But I just don't think it's an abyss of nothingness [after death] and that we fall off and that our journey stops. I think it's circular and we go and we go and we go. I know that there are civilizations that I think are way more sophisticated than we are and I think more sophisticated civilizations lived before us.
Halle Berry
There have been so many people who have said to me, 'You can't do that,' but I've had an innate belief that they were wrong. Be unwavering and relentless in your approach.
Halle Berry
I archive a lot of my clothes and have them wrapped up and in boxes. I call them 'little tombs' and keep them in a storage space... I would never get rid of the dress I wore on the night I won my Oscar. When I die, someone can have it, but not a minute before!
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 am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.
Halle Berry
While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.
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
My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned.
Halle Berry
I see women in their 30s getting plastic surgery, pulling this up and tucking that back. It's like a slippery slope - once you start you pull one thing one way and then you think, 'Oh my God, I've got to do the other side.'
Halle Berry
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.
Halle Berry
I carried my Oscar to bed with me. My first and only three-way happened that night.
Halle Berry
I know that I will never find my father in any other man who comes into my life, because it is a void in my life that can only be filled by him.
Halle Berry
