Growing older is not such a big deal for me, despite the fears that older actresses have in Hollywood. When I hit 40, for example, I didn't feel 40 - or whatever that is supposed to feel like.

More quotes by Halle Berry
It's an amazing feeling to know that life is actually growing inside your body. The first time you see the ultrasound and you see the little bones and you realise that it's part of you and it's in your care is life changing and this sort of protective instinct has taken over.
Halle Berry
Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.
Halle Berry
My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned.
Halle Berry
Most people I know of that mix have a real ability to be in a room with anyone, black or white.
Halle Berry
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.
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 don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.
Halle Berry
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.
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
Just to be true to myself, which is why I did this movie. I figured everyone was going to freak out and say, 'Why would you do that after Dorothy Dandridge?' My answer is 'Because I can.' And that feels really good to be comfortable saying that.
Halle Berry
I've pretty much learned I can let that [being black] hinder me if I want to ... or I can fight for different kinds of roles.
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
I've also grown as an actor as I've got older in life. I've learnt how to go to work, immerse myself 100 per cent in the character and, at the end of the day, take it all off and go back, get a nice bubble bath, have a nice massage and realise that is not my life. And that feels good.
Halle Berry
I've always liked to go down a different path. Being a woman of color, I never followed a cookie cutter way.
Halle Berry
I don't buy into that pressure to be glamorous all the time. It's impossible, I mean, you get a pimple in the morning, you wake up with bags under your eyes, you see if you can use it in your work, maybe incorporate it into your character.
Halle Berry
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.
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
I carried my Oscar to bed with me. My first and only three-way happened that night.
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
During really difficult times in my life when I start questioning why I am struggling with something, I often turn to books to understand myself better.
