With actors, all our ages are out there for all to see – you can’t hide anything, really. And it’s kind of a relief. This is my age, this is what I look like without makeup on – who cares? That youth culture – that lying about your age – it’s all denial of death anyway. – Julianne Moore
When I was seven, these kids in the alley behind our house in Omaha called me Freckleface Strawberry. I hated my freckles, and I hated that name. I thought it was humiliating in the way that only a seven-year-old could hate it. – Julianne Moore
My mother brought us to the library every week, and I read a lot. That’s what kept me company. I went from school to school, but there was always reading. – Julianne Moore
I did find it particularly difficult to do Broadway. It was not my favourite way to perform. When I do theatre, I like it to be smaller. I like the audience to be closer; I like it to be less presentational. – Julianne Moore
My father was a military judge, and my mother was a psychiatric social worker. My brother and sister and I were moved around constantly, in and outside the U.S., living in Germany for much of our teens. – Julianne Moore
I have a husband and two kids, and they’re usually around when I’m shooting, then I go home. We have dinner, and that’s what I’m dealing with when I go home. – Julianne Moore
If you’re reading IMDB, half of it’s made up. You can’t trust it or Wikipedia, which is just lies, lies! – Julianne Moore
There was a period of time in America where the advertising world actually went to the housewives of America and had them write jingles that would appeal to them. It was actually brilliant marketing. – Julianne Moore
I think every part’s a challenge, and you also never know if you’re going to pull it off. – Julianne Moore
I can only be in the sun for 15 minutes before burning. I have sunscreen on my face every day. If I’m walking on the sunny side of the street, I’ll walk to the shady side. I’m too uncomfortable in the sun. – Julianne Moore
I don’t know why women do Botox. It doesn’t make them look younger, it just makes them look like they had work done. You are not going to look the same as you did at 25. – Julianne Moore
She’s in a situation she tried to, that’s what’s complicated. She followed orders; she called off the raid. This is a dangerous situation. Somebody in DC police went ahead and started. – Julianne Moore
Actually I did, because I saw the film like everyone else, ten years ago and I remembered some of it. I just wanted to see it, to kind of remember the tone a little bit. – Julianne Moore
My mom worked as a psychiatric social worker. She was interested in people, and I guess I am, too. So we would talk about the people that we knew, and why they behaved the way they did. – Julianne Moore
There wasn’t much for me to do after school except the drama club, so when I kind of started doing drama club, it seemed to be something I could do. – Julianne Moore
We didn’t have a lot of money growing up, so my mom didn’t buy a lot of extras, like sweet things. – Julianne Moore

I think it’s always hard to find great roles, no matter what age you are. So I always say to people, ‘You have to remember that Hollywood is in the business of making movies that they can sell tickets to; they’re not in the business of finding great roles for actors.’ – Julianne Moore
As an actor, all you have is what you know and what you see in other people. The more you know, and the more you’ve experienced, the more you’re able to communicate to other people. – Julianne Moore
You’d have to spend a lot of time with me before I’d be comfortable enough to show my dark side. – Julianne Moore
When someone says, ‘I’m not political,’ I feel like what they’re saying is, ‘I only care about myself. In my bathtub. Me and my bathtub is what I care about.’ – Julianne Moore
My mom came to the U.S. very young, and then she married very young. But she was never American. She was always Scottish and would make sure that I knew that I was, too. – Julianne Moore
