Halle Berry Says She’s A Mom First, Actor Second!!!

HALLE BERRY who has been on somewhat of a hiatus when it comes to filming, says the main reason she has cutdown on her workload is because, what takes priority right now in her life,  is being a mother.

“[Motherhood has] wildly affected my life. I haven’t worked as much since I had my daughter. I have another priority and she’s it,” BERRY told Hello magazine.

However, BERRY does feel that getting back to work is soon very important.

“But I do want to send her the clear message that working is important and doing something that you love – that validates you, or makes you feel you are giving yourself to the world – is really important, so I will keep working,” BERRY says.

Sporting a new weave, and new fiance`, BERRY says she’s ready to make even more changes, which may include moving her and daughter NAHLA to France, with her boo OLIVER MARTINEZ.

“I’m hoping. I think it would be a much more normal way of life for my family. We’d have more privacy and more laws there to protect my daughter. I’m really very concerned about her growing up in the US, with the way things are and the laws they don’t have in place to protect children.”

Sounds like HALLE has it all mapped out.
