"I try to find women who reflect me when I was growing up. As a woman of color, I can't say I have a lot of people of color around me," Hale explained in an interview with Jia Ren magazine. "And, of course, my mother. But she was blonde and blue-eyed. When I look up to her, I have a hard time finding a female figure like me. So I think it could be Dorothy Dandridge, Diane Carroll and Diana Rose. In my heart, they are my beautiful idols. ”
"In life, being considered a beautiful woman doesn't do me any good. Without heartache, there is no trouble. Love is hard enough. Beauty is essentially meaningless, it's always short-lived," Hale said at a news conference in London in 2004.
When I gave birth to my daughter Nahla, I wanted to be a better mother. But I'm just a little baby, just trying to figure it out, trying to figure out who I am," Hale shared on Wendy Williams.

"I guess I'm just learning as I go," Hale shared at Yahoo about her fashion evolution. "I'm always trying, figuring out what's right for me, what's right for me, what makes me feel like I'm the best version of myself. Seeing pictures of myself and realizing what is right and what is wrong. You know, 'I'm going to do it again, I'm going to stick with it.' ’”
"I didn't disappear. I made deals: going out at night in search of knowledge, partying for intimate gatherings, chasing money for goals, meaningless work for my passion, busyness for protecting time, blackmail for self-reflection, and living for others to live their own lives," the X-Men actress wrote in the post.
Hale spoke about her children in an interview with People magazine. "My kids — I gave birth to two in my 40s. I've had two beautiful, healthy kids, and that's the best thing I've ever been able to do in my life," the monster dance superstar said in an interview with the Toronto Sun.

Hale said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "When you're happy with your looks and age, you don't want to be 10 years younger — that's fine if you look younger — but getting old means embracing your true self, embracing the life you've been through, embracing the knowledge and wisdom you've gained."
"As a woman, when you embrace your place in life, I feel like the struggle is less difficult. If you're 42 years old and still think of yourself as a naïve teenage girl, you have a problem," Hale said in an interview with Harper's Bazaar.
"We can't think of what we did a decade ago. We can't salivate at this anymore. Let it pass, embrace it now, and really get better. I think it's easier said than done, but that's our goal," the Oscar-winning actor said in an interview with Yahoo
Berry intimately shared the news with Yahoo. "I've been reminding myself that beauty is beauty, and it doesn't have much to do with my body. Aging is natural and this will happen to all of us... I just want to be the way I am forever, even if that's an older me. ”
