Julia Roberts on 'Elle'

On the cover: "Julia! Eat Pray Love star opens up"

Why she's beautiful: Julia Roberts, 42, knows there's more to life than a pretty face. "It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don’t even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy, and when I'm confounded. Your face tells a story... and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office."

Our favorite quote: "The children became the shooting stars of [husband Danny Moder], of that thing we have. How lucky we are that we love each other so much that we burst into three pieces."
