Julianne Moore is Harper's Bazzar's April 2015 cover star. In the issue Julianne talks about her personal style "my style has gotten better, hopefully!" and maintaining her dignity on the red carpet:
"I'm 54 years old. I can't make my fingers walk; it's humiliating! And a guy asked me to lift up my skirt to show them my shoes, and I said, 'I don't need to do that. Let's keep some dignity.' "
Moore on the diverse roles she has played: "Some people say, 'You play happy people,' and I'm like, 'No.' Or 'You play people who have affairs,' and I'm like, 'No.' Or 'You play lesbians,' and I'm like, 'No!' I've made 50-something movies, so there's a lot of different people. I like really human stories."
On getting older: "The older you get, you have a clearer understanding about what you care about, what you value, and you begin to think laterally and not vertically. Who are these people around me; let me try to experience this. That's what makes everything more valuable and more interesting."
On family: "I have great kids. I have a great husband—and I know it sounds queer! My son and daughter both play basketball, and my husband and I do our best to go to every game. We try to spend time as a family. We just try to be super involved in each other's lives." The four have been hitting the red carpet as a unit more often lately. Moore waves her hands around her fancy dress. "The fact that they get involved in all of this—it's a good thing!"
On the women she admires: "Ellen Page [who stars as Moore's girlfriend in the upcoming Freeheld]. Kristen Stewart, I just love her. Emma Stone is fabulous. I love Catherine Deneuve. I love Tilda Swinton."
"But," she adds, "women are fabulous. I like our camaraderie, our similarities, how we collaborate. When my daughter was born, I looked at her in the bassinet and I said, 'You're one of us.' " She mists up. "I'm going to cry if I think about it too much. I had this little girl and was like, 'Yup. You're one of us. '"
