Quotes From Halle:
"The worst thing a man can ever do is kiss me on the first date."
"I'll never get married again, and I always hate to say never to anything, but I will never marry again."
"I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood, so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else, or as smart, or whatever."
"I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white (her father Jerome is black). Knowing that has made my life easier, I think."
"I want to be the next Spike Lee. I want to help other black folks to get into Hollywood and be successful in Hollywood."
"I never wanted to be a model. My modeling 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."
