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.

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.'

While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.

Image
Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.

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.

I chose a sunflower because when darkness descends they close up to regenerate. But I really wish I'd never had the tattoo in the first place. Clean, clear skin is always better.

My mother never wanted me to focus on my physical self. She always said that beauty is what you do.

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.

Image
I am so ready to be a mommy. I can't wait. I notice every little baby dress, every little baby toy, every little baby thing.
Halle Berry
Image
I think my feet are my sexiest body part. People I find really sexy include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and my mum.

Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now.

I think a smart person today realizes that you have to be part of the art films that are done just for the sake of the art.

My daughter doesn't want to go to school because she knows 'the men' are watching for her. They jump out of the bushes and from behind cars and who knows where else, besieging these children just to get a photo.
Halle Berry
Image
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.

I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.

I realize as you age the less makeup you wear the younger you look.

When I think, where did I laugh the most, where did I eat the most, where did I just feel good all the time, I would say making the Bond movie 'Die Another Day.' To be part of such an iconic franchise and to travel to exotic places - that was the most fun I ever had.

I'll never get married again, and I always hate to say never to anything, but I will never marry again.
