As Julianne Moore has gotten older, she has often been complimented for her youthful looks. As Kate Phelan, an editor at Vogue, told the Evening Standard, "Julianne is the ultimate ageless woman. I don't know how old she is, I don't need to know."
For Moore, the idea of being ageless isn't actually all that appealing. Instead, she's keen to embrace her age. In reference to the term "aging gracefully," she told As If magazine (via ET), "No one has an option about aging, so it's not a positive or a negative thing, it just is. It's part of the human condition, so why are we always talking about it as if it is something that we have control over?" She went on to explain that she still felt that she had lots of "life left" and wanted to have many new experiences, no matter how "old" she became.
As for the cliché about women becoming "invisible" as they age, Moore is also fighting against that. "Invisible to whom?" she said to Harper's Bazaar. "If you think of yourselves as an object in any kind of situation, then it's going to be important for you to be visible to that person if you're being objectified."
