I'm Just Going To Live

I Think It's Always Best To Be Who You Are.

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.

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.'

My Mother Never Wanted Me To Focus On My Physical Self. She Always Said That Beauty Is What You Do.

I Want To Do Roles That Are Fun And Challenging And I Want To Try Different Things. I Don't Want To Keep Doing Monster's Ball Over And Over And Over Again. I Want To Keep Doing My Career The Way That I Was Doing It Before I Won The Oscar.
