Julia Roberts spills beans on ‘choosing between work and family’

Julia Roberts has spilled some beans on “choosing between work and family” life.

The veteran actress was recently featured in British Vogue where she got candid about her work and family life balance.

Julia said, “Well, I think that the luckiest aspect of my work life/family life is that the success of my work life came earlier. So by the time I had the success of my family life and had a husband and children who wanted to stay home, I had been working for 18 years. And so I felt that I had the luxury. I didn’t have to pick one or the other.”

The Pretty Woman star added, “So it was easy to pause work life to nurture my home life. And so, because I have girlfriends who were having to juggle being at work and having to go into the bathroom, and you know, get out that breast pump, I sort of went through that with them by proxy. To be allowed the luxury of staying home and being with my family, I had a deep gratitude for that time.”

Julie mentioned that though it is a luxury to “pick and choose” but one has to “earn” that luxury.

The superstar noted that “creative life is meaningful to” her and it is “really important” to keep the balance of both.

“Yes, of course. But then there’s also something to my kids seeing that my creative life is meaningful to me. I want them to understand that. Going outside of the house and being creative is really important and vital. And it doesn’t take away from my love of home. It’s another level of my life,” Julia continued.
