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.

More quotes by 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 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'm just going to live my life and be who I am.
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've learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I'm not all about frequency - I favor intensity.
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
I'm not sad at all about turning 40.
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
If you're of multiple races, you have a different challenge, a unique challenge of embracing all of who you are but still finding a way to identify yourself and I think that's often hard for us to do.
Halle Berry
I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head.
Halle Berry
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.
Halle Berry
While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.
Halle Berry
Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now.
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
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
I realize as you age the less makeup you wear the younger you look.
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
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.
Halle Berry
Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.
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
