Quotations by Halle Berry
While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.
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.
We've become obsessed with beauty and the fountain of youth and, frankly, I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.
I carried my Oscar to bed with me. My first and only three-way happened that night.
I think it's always best to be who you are.
When my husband wears this kind of oil, I'm like a puppy.
The worst thing a man can ever do is kiss me on the first date.
Secretly part of me has always wanted to try cocaine, but I just couldn't imagine sniffing anything up my nose. It seems like that would hurt.
I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head.
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.
In the X-Men the women are so strong and sexy! We really kick some male butt!
Blackness is a state of mind and I identify with the black community. Mainly, because I realized, early on, when I walk into a room, people see a black woman, they don't see a white women. So out of that reason alone, I identify more with the black community.
I know that there is a God - the God within me that's always present and will protect me. I'm not afraid to climb any mountain, because I know that I'm protected. Even if I fall and die, I'm still protected. My faith is on that level.
There's a place in me that can really relate to being the underdog. I'm always fighting to overcome the obstacle. I can really understand what's that about.
I also have been called that terrible "N" word straight to my face and not known what to do about it because it was just in like 1993 that someone called me that.
