It seems like Julia Roberts can do no wrong. From her movie roles to her red carpet fashion, everything that the Oscar-winning actress does seems perfect.

The "Pretty Woman" star sat down with Harper's Bazaar U.K. and chatted about everything from her family to her future in Hollywood. When asked if she'd ever consider giving up acting, the A-list actress said, "Well, if I did much less, I wouldn't be in the business at all. I was saying to my husband the other day that I haven't worked in almost a year."

 

"Deep down, we all know you can't stand on the top point of a pinnacle on your tiptoes, and not at some point lose your balance, or get tired," she continued. "There are great things I've accomplished and I'd be happy to accomplish more, of course, to impress my children and my husband. But you know what? I've been spoilt already."

Roberts also revealed that she's always been selective when it comes to taking on roles to ensure that she was doing the right projects. "I didn't work for a couple of years in my twenties, because I was being offered scripts and thinking 'Is it me or is this all just crap?' I figured I could cover my rent and wait for something good. I'd been spoilt with some great jobs already, so I was like, 'Why do that part with that person, when I was just doing that part with these people!'"

But, she's still excited for what lies ahead and isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet. "I just wait to see what comes along, as opposed to looking for it. It makes it fun and organic," she explained. "Remember why you're doing what you're doing. That's your anchor. Cultivate your taste and decision making."

 

She's also enjoying being a mom to twins Hazel and Finn, 12, and Henry, 10, and loves getting the chance to work with her husband cinematographer Danny Moder. She even admitted that meeting him was what made her less of a "selfish little brat." 

 

"It was meeting Danny…finding my person. When I think about what makes my life my life, and makes sense and just shine inside of me, it's him. Everything has come from that for me."
