Let's get a couple of things straight. It hasn't been years and years since I made a movie. I'm not coming back from the dead - I've just had two kids! I have no intention of retiring, but I do think it's impossible to do movie after movie, because there aren't that many good films made.
Julia Roberts

Good, Made, Two

Julia Roberts

Work, Science, Movies

Julia Roberts

Love, Time, Great

Girl, Else, Talk
