There have been so many people who have said to me, 'You can't do that,' but I've had an innate belief that they were wrong. Be unwavering and relentless in your approach.
Beauty is not just physical.
In a perfect world, I would be a painter. I love working with my hands. I don't get to do it as much as I like, but I am finding a way to make more time as life goes on because it's a really great outlet for me to express myself.
When I think, where did I laugh the most, where did I eat the most, where did I just feel good all the time, I would say making the Bond movie 'Die Another Day.' To be part of such an iconic franchise and to travel to exotic places - that was the most fun I ever had.
The first step is clearly defining what it is you're after, because without knowing that, you'll never get it.
I'm not the girl for superhigh fashion because I don't have the right body.
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.'
I'd like to be able to use Storm's powers for good, like have it rain more in Southern California. We could do with it.
My style has evolved in a nice way, but everyone has bad moments.
I'm not a fanatic about exercising. For me, it's about moderation and balance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There's a place in me that can really relate to being the underdog.
In the X-Men the women are so strong and sexy! We really kick some male butt!
I like Doritos. I'm usually watching 'The Biggest Loser' eating Doritos.
I never wanted to be a model. My modelling career was nothing but a stepping stone to my acting career and that's all I ever saw it as. A pointless rock in the river that has to be stepped on in order to get to the meaningful oasis of acting.
I think it's always best to be who you are.
Throughout my career I have been talked out of things I wanted to do, and when I look back, I think I should have followed my instincts.
