More quotes by 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
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
What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.
Halle Berry
When I got to be about 16,17 I got into a beauty pageant and I was allowed to start playing around with makeup.
Halle Berry
I don't think I'm unlike a lot of people. I am just someone who is trying to find that mate, and I think it's a really hard thing to do.
Halle Berry
I never even think about the physicality of roles, until honestly I get the gig and I think, 'OK, now what do I have to do in this one?' Like, I approach it thinking more about the character - do I respond to it? Is it something I think I can play? Does it seem like it'll be fun?
Halle Berry
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
Facials are my biggest beauty indulgence. Looking good is about having a good base. It's about taking care of your skin.
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.
Halle Berry
I archive a lot of my clothes and have them wrapped up and in boxes. I call them 'little tombs' and keep them in a storage space... I would never get rid of the dress I wore on the night I won my Oscar. When I die, someone can have it, but not a minute before!
Halle Berry
I would say a magical thing happened on when the big 40th birthday came. I felt like a light kind of just went off, and maybe that's because I felt like at 40 I had the right to say and be who I wanted to be, say what I wanted to say, and accept what I didn't want to accept.
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'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
My mother never wanted me to focus on my physical self. She always said that beauty is what you do.
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
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
The fact is that I like thrillers and action movies. But what really fulfills me is getting out of my comfort zone, taking chances.
Halle Berry
I take care of myself, because I learned early on that I am the only person in life who's responsible for me.
Halle Berry
I carried my Oscar to bed with me. My first and only three-way happened that night.
Halle Berry
I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.
Halle Berry
