- Halle: (on sex) I’ve learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I’m not all about frequency. I favor intensity.
- Halle: (on doing nude scenes) I did one and I’d do more, if it was instrumental in bringing the character to life. I’m really comfortable with my body.
- Halle: (on being immortalised on Hollywood’s ‘Walk of Fame‘) I want to officially state that I am an emotional retard. I am so emotional … as soon as I saw the crowds of people and friends here, I started to cry.
- Halle: I’ll adopt, I’ll get artificially inseminated. I’ll do whatever I will have to do. I really don’t want to miss motherhood in my life, and I know I love children.
- Halle: (on Catwoman) I can’t tell you how many times my pants split wide open…I was having lots of Janet Jackson moments…I think I’ve evolved into someone pretty confident – in myself and in my skin.
- Halle: 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.
- Halle: (during her Oscar acceptance speech) This moment is so much bigger than me, This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, v… It’s for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett Smith, Angela Bassett, Vivica A. Fox… and it’s for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance, because the door tonight has been opened.
- Halle: I carried my Oscar to bed with me. My first and only three-way happened that night.
- Halle: While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.
- Halle: Secretly part of me has always wanted to try cocaine, but I just couldn’t imagine sniffing anything up my nose. It seems like that would hurt.
