“I would be lying, if I said that sometimes it is just a job that you show up for because you're getting paid, and that's important, too. But, if you can be in a state of mind where you enjoy your job, whether it's just a job, or it's actually cathartic for you, or it's something personal. I think it would be much easier to be content with doing a good job.” IfsThinkingMindSaidImportantSometimesStatesShowsWould BeJobsLyingEnjoyEasierPaidState Of MindGood JobCathartic Author:Julianne Moore
“I think all of us struggle with how to keep relationship alive. And yet it can't be static either. It's never going to be how it was when you first met because you're not in that place anymore; you're not necessarily the same people. So, that's the struggle - you're trying to make the relationship move forward with the rest of your life and make it special and meaningful. And I think it's incredibly challenging.” PeopleThinkingTryingFirstsMovingChallengesStruggleAliveSpecialMetsMeaningfulMoving ForwardRest Of Your LifeStatic Author:Julianne Moore
“I think the thing about relationships is that you're always thinking "Oh, it's going to go bad." [...] But then, it's the same thing that all the silly magazines say, "Take time for yourselves. Go away."” ThinkingSillyMagazinesGoing AwayTake TimeAlways Thinking Author:Julianne Moore

“In cinema people are always walking into something and saying this is who I am, what I want, and how I'm going to get it and we don't in life - particularly not in public situations. People might know your first name, not your last name, they don't know what you do, and you're not going to offer it up. So if you start there and you realize this is a much more normal presentation in a film then you would ordinarily have; you know that there is a big life behind what everyone presents and that I think is super interesting.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantFirstsBigsMightLastsFilmNamesRealizingInterestingBehindsSituationWalkingOffersNormalWho I AmCinemaPresentation Author:Julianne Moore
“One of the things that I love about L'Oréal is that it's accessible and aspirational. Beauty doesn't have to be a mystery, and it can be available to everybody. But it's also about accessing what is most innately human, what we think is attractive.” ThinkingMysteryAttractive Author:Julianne Moore
“You're in a movie, so you have to think about how something plays. It's not like you're thinking about how an audience is going to react. You're trying to present the story. You're trying to illuminate the lives of these people in the story. So I'm thinking about how my behavior as this character best illuminates what's going on with them in this moment in time. I always say it's sort of the director's job. People think that the directors direct actors. No. Really, what the director's doing is directing the audience's eye through the film.” PeopleThinkingTryingMomentsCharacterEyeFilmAudienceLike YouBehaviorDirect Author:Julianne Moore
“But everything that I did starting out, every job that I had, I haven't regretted any of them. They've all been informative, interesting in one way or another. With a career, I think there's this idea that you're just trying to get somewhere. It's like, "Oh, okay, let's keep going, because if I do this, I can get this, I get this, this." It wasn't that way. I did what I wanted to do when it was in front of me, and I'm trying to continue to do that.” ThinkingTryingInterestingOkayKeep Going Author:Julianne Moore
“Nobody does a lot of plotting. They can't. Everybody wants to do that in life, but I think it's almost impossible. Opportunities present themselves, and you say, "Hey, is this interesting to me?"

“The thing about 50 is that you've clearly reached a point where you have more of your life behind you than ahead of you, and that's a very different place to be in.
