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
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 do not love to work out, but if I stick to exercising every day and put the right things in my mouth, then my diabetes just stays in check. – Halle Berry
If you set out to do something and you give it your all and it doesn’t work out, be willing to modify your goal slightly. Have the ability to look in another direction. A small shift could guide you to the real purposes of your life. – Halle Berry
Every story about me is so heavy and dramatic. That’s not how I do life. But that’s the impression people have, and that’s what keeps getting reiterated. As if I’m still stuck in all the muck of the past. And I am so not. – 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
I won’t have a traditional marriage; I don’t find the value in that anymore. But I am such a hopeless romantic and I really want love and I want a committed relationship, so I am going to reinvent marriage for myself. – Halle Berry
You think you know what love is – until you have a child and discover that unconditional mother love. – Halle Berry
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
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
Let me tell you something – being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory. – 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
Self-esteem comes from who you have in your life. How you were raised. What you struggled with as a child. – Halle Berry
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. – Halle Berry
