Zitat des Tages von 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.
There's a place in me that can really relate to being the underdog.
Throughout my career I have been talked out of things I wanted to do, and when I look back, I think I should have followed my instincts.
In the X-Men the women are so strong and sexy! We really kick some male butt!
I'm not done with love, but I refuse to settle.
Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now.
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.
I'm not the girl for superhigh fashion because I don't have the right body.
I think it's always best to be who you are.
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.
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.
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.
If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.
And you also have to do movies that are about commerce because that's what is required of the industry today.
Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.
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.
I'm not afraid of portraying anything on-screen.
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.
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.
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.'
I'm not one of these actresses like, 'Okay, where's the camera? Is it here? Is it here?' I don't even ask the questions because I don't really want to know. I like not performing for a camera but giving it my best every single time whether you're close or whether you're far.
I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head.
I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.
Having a baby takes so much from you. It's the most glorious thing you'll ever do, but the aftermath is not so glorious!
My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned.
Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.
A person's self-esteem has nothing to do with how she looks.
I'm not done with love, but I refuse to settle. I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.
I wish all men were like dogs.
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.
Don't take yourself too seriously. Know when to laugh at yourself, and find a way to laugh at obstacles that inevitably present themselves.
It is very hard to separate one's self from a character. Sometimes the people closest to me have to be very understanding.
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'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.
Beauty is not just physical.
I know I'm only one human being and I'm only making one tiny contribution and it's nothing more than that.
