London:
Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry's focus is completely on her two-year-old daughter Nahla now, and says she could even quit her career for her sake.
"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," Berry has been quoted as saying by femalefirst.co.uk.
The actress says she has seen a change in herself ever since she had her daughter with former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.
"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?' 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," she added.
The 44-year-old beauty, who is currently dating singer Kylie Minogue's ex, actor Oliver Martinez, also admitted Nahla has influenced her taste in men.
"Every choice I make now, and that includes who I choose to spend personal time with as a partner, is not just about me any more, it's about what's best for her."
Berry says life has never been better for her.
"I am just a girl who met a boy; a girl who liked a boy; a boy liked the girl and then that's what happened. I've wanted this for so long and I feel happier than ever before. 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."
