American actress Halle Berry has revealed that she would consider retiring from Hollywood if ever forced to choose between spending time with her daughter and her career.
The Oscar-winning actress, who has a two-year-old daughter with former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, says her priorities have changed since becoming a mother and she is no longer so focused on her career.
She said: “Children shift your priorities and now I have a greater purpose for being here. I love making movies but I would give it all up to be with my daughter if I had to because she’s the love of my life,”
She added: “She’s made me a better person because everything I do and say, everything I want and don’t want, I think first, ‘Will this be best for her?’
The star, who is currently dating Kylie Minogue’s former boyfriend, actor Oliver Martinez, says that she’s never “laughed so hard” since becoming a mother.
“When you have children you get to see things all over again. So I’ve never laughed as hard, I’ve never done more silly things, and I go to great lengths to make her laugh. She’s awakened a childlike side of me.
“I’m happy and fulfilled and I’m in a really good space in my life. I’ve survived many highs and many lows and I think I have it all in perspective now — never get too high and never get too low.”
