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.'

Being a black woman, I've often felt I've been judged by my sex and my race, and I have always known that it shouldn't hamper me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.

There have been so many people who have said to me, 'You can't do that,' but I've had an innate belief that they were wrong. Be unwavering and relentless in your approach.

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.

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.
