More quotes by Halle Berry
Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.
Halle Berry
If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.
Halle Berry
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
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.
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
While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.
Halle Berry
Motherhood sort of puts things into perspective, and it's bout real life, and life is about people, what we give, what we take, what we share.
Halle Berry
I'm just going to live my life and be who I am.
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 also have been called that terrible N word straight to my face and not known what to do about it because it was just in like 1993 that someone called me that.
Halle Berry
As a woman, when you embrace where you are in life, then I think the struggle [life] isn't so hard. If you're 42 and still think you're an ingenue, then you've got a problem.
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
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.
Halle Berry
Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now.
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
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.
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
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.
Halle Berry
It is very hard to separate one's self from a character. Sometimes the people closest to me have to be very understanding.
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
