Gwyneth Paltrow is another woman subject to the rote questioning of women of a certain age (any age over about 25).
In this instance, Paltrow is taking a break from shilling processed food to be products sold at gas stations, and shilling colon cleanses, to opine that she looks better at 39-years-old than in her 20s when filming Sliding Doors, Shakespeare in Love etc.
On whether she’ll have more children: “I don’t know if I can go back to diapers. I don’t think so. I would love to, but I sort of feel like I don’t know if I can go back to diapers and things like that. I’m so past that, I think I may have missed the window. I think if maybe when Moses was three, I would have done it, or four even, but now he’s six and such a guy, I feel like I’m out of the baby phase. If it happens, it happens.”
On how she feels as a mother: “I feel like motherhood has given me all my happiness and a real life: a husband, my children and everything that’s invested in that. Every woman is different, but for me that’s where I’ve gotten my real happiness.”
On being pushed for time while she’s working in Los Angeles: “When I’m in LA, I’m always packing things in. I tend to be really busy. My doctors are out there, Apple’s orthodontist, that kind of thing. Plus, that’s where I focus on movie stuff and I see all my friends. It changes more; I tend not to spend all my time with the kids.”
On what makes her stressed: “I find that I get stressed out when I try to do too many things at once, and so I try not to. I feel very stressed out if I’m trying to cook and help the children with their homework and answer emails and talk to my lawyer or whatever. I feel really overwhelmed. So I try to just do things one at a time.”
On whether she minds ageing: “I like being older. It’s nice to really know yourself and feel relaxed. And I actually think I look better now than I did when I was 24, so I’m very comfortable with myself.” – via Daily Mail.
