“People win 'Oscars', and then it seems like they fall off the planet. And that's…” — Halle Berry

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

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.

I think I've evolved into someone pretty confident - in myself and in my skin.
