Four-time Oscar nominated actress Julianne Moore is starring in this month’s summer film Crazy, Stupid, Love. She plays Steve Carell’s wife, “who sends him into a tailspin after she has an affair and wants out of the marriage.” In the latest issue of Health Magazine, Julianne opens up about her body image, confidence, and family life.

On walking the red carpet:

“I never feel confident! I don’t know that there’s anybody who does. I mean, you don’t look around the red carpet thinking, There’s a lot of confident people out here.”

On staying healthy in her 50s:

“Let me tell you something: The big thing about being 50 is the bar is much lower. People are like, “Oh my God, you look great!” So that’s sort of good. [Laughs.] I have very strong hair, that’s just genetics. And I credit my mother for keeping us out of the sun.”

On staying comfortable in her body:

“Look, I think we’re all neurotic. I mean, you know, to be totally honest, I just came back from vacation, where I was at a breakfast buffet, and I’d eat pastry after pastry after pastry. So as a consequence, today when I have this photo shoot, I’m like a few pounds over what I’d like to be, and I’m just like, “Oh, crap.” So yeah, I do think about that kind of stuff. But I try to keep things in perspective somewhat, too.”

On helping her daughter build a good body image:

“I think the idea is to provide healthy foods, and let them have a treat. And it’s worked. Both of my kids are really active, and they’re good eaters, the kind of kids who will take an ice cream cone and say, “I’m finished,” and throw it away. I’m like, “I’ll eat that.” [Laughs.] That’s my problem.”
