Halle Berry Speaks


After all, everybody has secrets and there are some things that nobody knows about you but only you, right?
Halle Berry

And you also have to do movies that are about commerce because that's what is required of the industry today.
Halle Berry

Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.
Halle Berry

Beauty is not just physical.
Halle Berry

I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.
Halle Berry

I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.
Halle Berry

I know I'm only one human being and I'm only making one tiny contribution and it's nothing more than that.
Halle Berry

I know that I will never find my father in any other man who comes into my life, because it is a void in my life that can only be filled by him.
Halle Berry

I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head.
Halle Berry

I think a smart person today realizes that you have to be part of the art films that are done just for the sake of the art.
Halle Berry

I think it's always best to be who you are.
Halle Berry

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

I wish all men were like dogs.
Halle Berry

I'd like to be able to use Storm's powers for good, like have it rain more in Southern California. We could do with it.
Halle Berry

I'm done with men... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage.
Halle Berry

I'm learning to accept the lack of privacy as the real downer in my profession.
Halle Berry

I'm not afraid of portraying anything on-screen.
Halle Berry

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

If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.
Halle Berry

In the X-Men the women are so strong and sexy! We really kick some male butt!
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

My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned.
Halle Berry

The man for me is the cherry on the pie. But I'm the pie and my pie is good all by itself. Even if I don't have a cherry.
Halle Berry

The times may have changed, but the people are still the same. We're still looking for love, and that will always be our struggle as human beings.
Halle Berry

The worst thing a man can ever do is kiss me on the first date.
Halle Berry

There's a place in me that can really relate to being the underdog.
Halle Berry

What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.
Halle Berry

When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner.
Halle Berry

While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.
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
