Halle Berry Quotes

It's important that people are open. Some people say, 'I'm going to be a doctor,' and they're a really good doctor. But for the rest of us, it's a big question mark. Just giving yourself a break, letting yourself try new things, and when something doesn't work out, moving along... it's all we can really do.

Well, I'm a big believer in 'never say never.'

Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.

Just true to form with life sometimes - what you're trying to do doesn't necessarily work out, but what ends up happening can be a lot better. I just relax and say whatever is going to happen - happens.

I'm not goal-oriented so much as I'm constantly aware of what I'm passionate about, and I'm constantly updating the list. I envision many possible futures for myself where I could be happy, so I just try to keep my passions alive.

If you're not vulnerable, and you're too headstrong and clear about the path you want to take, it won't help you grow. Vulnerability doesn't have to be a negative thing. If you take the right spin on it, it can be extremely positive.

A lot of times, we think we're set out to do one thing, but then you realise that's maybe not what's best for you. So I've just learned to accept and embrace.

My goals for the next part of my life: Whatever I'm handed, I'm gonna make the most of it. If it's good for me, I'm gonna take it.

Even when matches don't work out the way you planned, you've always got to stay strong in defence; it's a matter of willpower and intelligence.

My story shows never say never.

One must be prepared for some surprises in life - some things will work out your way, some won't. You just have to keep working and do things to the best of your ability.

If you're trying to avoid one move that you don't think is going to work out, don't then settle for a different move that maybe doesn't check all the boxes. Be true to the philosophy and understand the bigger picture. There's always another day to fight.

Don't be too close-minded, and don't think there's only one way to get to where you want to be. There are a thousand ways to get there, and if one way doesn't work, try the other.

If you ever want to tame your inner demons, you must consciously choose never to become too attached to any particular life plan - and always remain open to the idea that there might be an even better life plan for you.

You take whatever works from wherever you can find it, and you keep moving toward the light.

If you are truly flexible and go until... there is really very little you can't accomplish in your lifetime.

We should never change our minds about where we are going, but always be curious about different ways to get there.

I'm very aware, but I'm very naïve. When you are really naïve and expecting safety and expecting the best, you don't feel you're taking risks. You can get smacked a little, but usually it works out pretty well. I would say that, as much as you can instill your open-minded naivety, if you're basically open minded, then you can do damn near anything.

The hard thing when you get old is to keep your horizons open. The first part of your life everything is in front of you, all your potential and promise. But over the years, you make decisions; you carve yourself into a given shape. Then the challenge is to keep discovering the green growing edge.

I haven't gotten stuck with something because I just keep going, and I keep doing different things.

One of the tests that I frequently use in an interaction is I push on the idea and what I'm looking for is both flexibility & persistence.

The trick is to keep exploring and not bail out, even when we find out that something is not what we thought.

It's not always the strong that survive. It takes brains, guts, tolerance and forward thinking.

It is more important to know who you are than where you are going, for where you are going will change as the world around you changes.
