If you set out to do something and you give it your all and it doesn't work out, be willing to modify your goal slightly. Have the ability to look in another direction. A small shift could guide you to the real purposes of your life.

I think I've evolved into someone pretty confident - in myself and in my skin.

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
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.

My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn't matter as much as how I would be perceived.
Halle Berry
Image
I have to live for me. I have to do what I need to do for me, and I have stopped concerning myself with what people say.
Halle Berry
Image
If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.
Halle Berry
Image
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
Image
My mother always said to me, 'You're going to have to work harder and have to be better, and you can't take no for an answer'.
Halle Berry
Image
I'll never get married again, and I always hate to say never to anything, but I will never marry again.

Image
Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.
Halle Berry
Image
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
Image
While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.

Image
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.
