Julianne Moore quotes about
alley behind hated kids omaha
When I was seven, these kids in the alley behind our house in Omaha called me Freckleface Strawberry. I hated my freckles, and I hated that name. I thought it was humiliating in the way that only a seven-year-old could hate it.
face minutes shady side sunny sunscreen
I can only be in the sun for 15 minutes before burning. I have sunscreen on my face every day. If I'm walking on the sunny side of the street, I'll walk to the shady side. I'm too uncomfortable in the sun.
change fit group nuances pick quickly social trying
Every different social group that I encountered had its different set of rules, so you learn very quickly how to pick up the nuances and change yourself accordingly. When you are not from anywhere, you have to try to find what's universal. You are always trying to fit in.
beauty everywhere modern mostly shops
Every modern woman shops everywhere for beauty, but for me it's mostly the airport or the drugstore.
burned people
Really, you want to have variety as an actor. If you spend your career doing one thing solidly, people get burned out.
exception flexible fortunate kids life lucky normal
I have a very, very normal life. I really do - with the exception of being very lucky and privileged. I have two children, a dog, and a husband. We live in New York, the kids go to school, and we're fortunate that we have flexible schedules. I like that. That's what I want.
trick
The worst thing you could do is scare a kid or trick them. Never, ever, ever do that.
courageous feels
I think to be courageous, you have to be afraid. For me, it feels very courageous when I go skiing because I'm very, very afraid to ski. It's dangerous! I feel very scared. But when I'm acting, I don't feel very scared.
taking
Once I've ascertained that I'm safe and I'm with a director who is taking care of me, then I'm able to go and do what I need to do and know it's not me, it's the story.
women work
I don't know why women do Botox. It doesn't make them look younger, it just makes them look like they had work done. You are not going to look the same as you did at 25.
directors favourite hate people realise serious surprised
I think people are always really surprised when they realise I'm not a very serious person and that I'm not tremendously serious about acting. I don't like to rehearse; I hate improv. Directors that don't like to talk, they're my favourite ones.
driven emotional external
I'm not someone who is driven by big external stories. I like big emotional stories.
awful cameras hotel life remember room starting stopped
I do remember when I was starting acting, going from one set to the next, with not much else going on in my life. And at the end of the day, you get back to your hotel room and just feel this awful loneliness, because the cameras have stopped rolling.
ladies
The thing about having a very young mother who had you at 20 is that you expect that you're going to be old ladies together.
