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.

I was black growing up in an a...

I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood, so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else, or as smart, or whatever.

Halle Berry 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

There have been so many people...

There have been so many people who have said to me, 'You can't do that,' but I've had an innate belief that they were wrong. Be unwavering and relentless in your approach.

What's hardest for me to swall...

What's hardest for me to swallow is when there is a love story, say, with a really high-profile male star and there's no reason I can't play the part. They say, 'Oh, we love Halle, we just don't want to go black with this part.'

Halle Berry 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

I archive a lot of my clothes ...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

I never wanted to be a model. ...

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.

Halle Berry 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

I think there's a certain leve...

I think there's a certain level of trust that I have with women. I've always been honest, even when I haven't had good times in my life or my movie bombed or I've had great success. I've owned up to all of it.

Halle Berry 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

If you're of multiple races, y...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

People win 'Oscars', and then ...

People win 'Oscars', and then it seems like they fall off the planet. And that's partly because a huge expectation walks in the room and sits right down on top of your head.

Halle Berry 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

When I think, where did I laug...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

My mother never wanted me to f...

My mother never wanted me to focus on my physical self. She always said that beauty is what you do.

Halle Berry 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

Growing older is not such a bi...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

I've pretty much learned I can...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

I would say a magical thing ha...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

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.

Halle Berry 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

It's an amazing feeling to kno...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

I want to do roles that are fu...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

When you grow up in that (mult...

When you grow up in that (multi-ethnic) environment, you see the world differently. Being a mixed-race child, I didn't always see colour in people, I really didn't. It was other people that made me see the colour all the time.

Halle Berry 03.03.2018 03:03:03 187 quotes

When a young woman tells me th...

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.
