Halle Berry's Most Inspirational Quotes

In a 2019 interview with Today, Halle, 55, said sharing photos of her children's faces online was a "safety issue" for her. 
 
"I just don't want to plaster them all over the internet," she said at the time. "That just doesn't feel right for me. They're gonna do that soon enough. That's gonna be their life when they grow up, and they will choose when that starts."

The Bruised director and actress added, "I've fought really hard to protect their privacy, and I just want them to have their life and have it be theirs."
