Like the rest of us, Oscar winner Julianne Moore is looking forward to the holidays.
The super talented actress covers the December/January issue of Town & Country on newsstands November 17, and talks new film Maggie’s Plan and more.
Julianne Moore on how taking the deep dive into a role—the how and why of a role is one of the things she enjoys most:
“I love that part of the job. I love it every single time. The specifics of being a Jersey cop versus a New York cop, like where you have your badge, where you have your gun, what you might do with your hair. And being a female cop, and what that means in those environments. All these things that signify who you are.”
Moore’s guilty pleasure:
“[Twitter] is the one thing I’m addicted to. I follow a lot of comedians and news sites. I never sit quietly anymore.”
Ethan Hawke, Moore’s husband in Maggie’s Plan, on what it was like to work with her for the first time after having been friends for more than a decade:
“She’s super easy to be around, but also, don’t f*** with her. It was really clear to me at rehearsal that we were now at work, and there was a way she was going to work. Unlike a lot of actors, who wait around for the brilliant director to give them a chance to be as good as they want to be, Julie creates that chance. She’s not waiting for permission.”
Moore on the holidays:
“I like to bake—I always make cornbread at Thanksgiving, which is our favorite holiday to host. We usually have between 25 and 40 people, our family and friends that we’ve known since the kids were little. [Christmas is quieter] just the four of us. My son usually has a basketball tournament. But I love being in the city then.”
Moore on her love of historical homes:
“I think I’ll tell my family that I want an old loft for Christmas. We have a townhouse in the West Village that we renovated 12 years ago, but I’m ready for something new.”
