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.

More quotes by 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'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
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 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'm not a fanatic about exercising. For me, it's about moderation and balance.
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 love a character that gives me a chance to grow and do something different.
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
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 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
Facials are my biggest beauty indulgence. Looking good is about having a good base. It's about taking care of your skin.
Halle Berry
This moment is so much bigger than me. It's for every nameless, faceless woman of colour that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened.
Halle Berry
Let me tell you something - being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.
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
If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.
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
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
I wish all men were like dogs.
Halle Berry
I think I've evolved into someone pretty confident - in myself and in my skin.
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
