Image
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.

I'm not sad at all about turning 40.
Halle Berry

My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn't matter as much as how I would be perceived.

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.

I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.
Halle Berry
Image
I take care of myself, because I learned early on that I am the only person in life who's responsible for me.

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.
