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.

More quotes by Halle Berry
By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity.
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 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 knew that I was a good writer in high school and won awards, and I was the editor of my school newspaper. So I knew that I was a good writer and I wanted to somehow capitalize and sort of utilize a talent that I thought I had.
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
I am so ready to be a mommy. I can't wait. I notice every little baby dress, every little baby toy, every little baby thing.
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
Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.
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
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.
Halle Berry
I think I am at my best when my hair is short. It's easier to take care of and more of who I am. Women are conditioned to think we need long hair.
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
You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.
Halle Berry
I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.
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
My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned.
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
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
When a young woman tells me that she wants to become and actor, I say, 'No, be a writer. Or go to business school and learn how to run a studio.' The only real change will come from behind the scenes.
Halle Berry
I love a character that gives me a chance to grow and do something different.
Halle Berry
