Demi Moore

Despite what anti-aging ads say, growing older can be better. I feel better in my skin, 100 percent. You have greater effects of gravity, but the better sense of yourself you have is something I wouldn't trade. Women who lie about their age - 'why?'

When I'm at the greatest odds with my body, it's usually because I feel my body's betraying me, whether that's been in the past, struggling with my weight and feeling that I couldn't eat what I wanted to eat, or that I couldn't get my body to do what I wanted it to do.

I entered this career having no background or connection to acting.

There's nothing wrong with having a desire to want nice things. It's when we place that as a measure of the value of ourselves that it goes askew.

I want to play many different characters.

Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That's freedom.

Being an actress in Hollywood and being a celebrity tend to feed into one another, but just being a celebrity wouldn't really be interesting to me.

I think of myself as still being about five.

Some of my lowest points were the most exciting opportunities to push through to be a better person.

When you feel sexy or sensuous, you naturally want to open up and give, and I think that comes from being able to receive love and desire.

There is no way to reach your fullest potential if you don't really find the love of yourself.

I have had a love-hate relationship with my body.
