Halle Berry's quotes

  • On Dorothy Dandridge: ...You have to find a way to be sad on every day, in every scene, in every moment. And always try to hide the sadness. And (then) you'll get the essence of who she was.
  • I'll never get married again, and I always hate to say never to anything, but I will never marry again.
  • 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.
  • I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head.
  • The worst thing a man can ever do is kiss me on the first date.
  • I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white [her father Jerome is black]. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.
  • I want to be the next Spike Lee. I want to help other black folks to get into Hollywood and be successful in Hollywood.
  • What is my real purpose here? I've looked at what I do. I make believe and make movies. I entertain people and get paid for it. Sometimes it seems like such a shallow existence. How insignificant in the scheme of life.
  • 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. And I hope to God I never see these people again. - on accepting her Razzie Award for Worst Actress.
  • I never wanted to be a model. My modeling 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 guess you could say I have bad taste in men. But I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife.
  • (On receiving a film festival award while pregnant) I am three times the girl I used to be. This is the second red carpet where I didn't have to think about sucking in my stomach - because I can't!
  • You think you know what love is - until you have a child and discover that unconditional mother love.
  • I once was stupid enough to say, in a previous relationship, "I'm going to be with this person forever", and realised, as I grew, that I don't know if forever is possible.
  • Humor is always part of the best hours in life.
  • When you have children, you get to see things all over again. So I've never laughed as hard, I've never done more silly things. And I go to great lengths to make my daughter laugh.
  • [on the difference between wants and needs] I don't think nudity is ever necessary.
  • I'm a hopeless romantic - and I won't stop until I get it right!
  • I'm embracing the fact that with each new year comes a new line on my face, and that just makes me more of who I'm evolving into.
  • [on modeling for her lingerie line at 50 years old] The big FIVE OH has taught me to be FEARLESS! I'm about to launch a lingerie line at 50. Here's what I know for sure...it's never too early or too late to do what EVER makes you happy.
