I've become really comfortable with my sexuality and making no excuses for it anymore.

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'm done with men... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage.
Halle Berry
Image
While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.
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.

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

I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head.

I take care of myself, because I learned early on that I am the only person in life who's responsible for me.
