“I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head.” — Halle Berry

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

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.

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.
