According to Julianne Moore, she doesn’t understand why men never get asked about their families and spouses during their interviews. The Hollywood actress opens up about it, along with why she always felt she should be a mother for her interview with DuJour Magazine. Here are some snippets of what she says:
On aging: “I just think that it’s boring! I don’t say that to you – I say that to everyone. Our fear of aging is really a fear of dying; aging is a physical manifestation of decay, and I think that is what’s so upsetting to most people.”
: “Men aren’t asked about age. Men aren’t asked about their children. Not that these things aren’t important, but I do feel like it becomes reductive when a woman’s life becomes, ‘Talk to me about your kids and how you feel about plastic surgery.’”
On her husband, Bart: “We are a family. We are emotionally responsible for one another, so we wanted to be legally responsible for one another, too. (It’s) something that I always wanted to do,’ Julianne says. ‘I didn’t know if I’d get married–I just didn’t innately feel like that was something I could be goal-oriented about–but I knew that I wanted to have children.”
On over-40 roles: “I do think that there’s interesting stuff out there, and it’s not anybody’s job to find it for me but mine. You’re always responsible for trying to figure out what to do with your own career.”
