People Magazine asked readers to send in questions for Sharon Stone this week. The star who is receiving rave reviews and Oscar buzz for her ruole as a hairdresser in the film "Bobby" answers questions about rasing three small boys, Roan - 6, Laird - 17 months, and Quinn - 5 months, all while maintaing her Hollywood glamour.What’s the secret to your eternal youth?
To look good starts from the inside, so you need to be honest. Lying can make you look bad. I don’t use caffeine, I very rarely have alcohol. I believe in (eating in) moderation. But I’m going to eat a croissant when I’m in Paris, because I think it’s healthy to have fun.
Would you consider getting remarried?
I don’t know. I’m not big on marriage. But when I married before (to Phil Bronstein from 1998 to 2003; her first marriage to producer Michael Greenberg ended in 1987), the people I married were very big on marriage, supposedly. When I do something, I do it with a lot of determination. In the modern world, a lot of people get married like shampoo and a cream rinse. Like, let’s get married and let’s get divorced. And I can’t relate to that.
Are you planning on having more kids?
I think we’re good. Three is a wonderful number. I can’t say for sure, because you never know. Life is life.
Was there a lightbulb moment that got you involved in charity work?
I’ve been an activist for a really long time. I’ve been with the American Foundation for AIDS Research for 11 years, and before that I worked on causes like pediatric AIDS and the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The first time I made a substantial check, maybe Total Recall, I got very excited for a week or two. Then I thought, Okay, I’d better figure out what good I’m going to be doing here.
What is the greatest challenge you’ve encountered as a working mother?
Coming back from being sick (after a 2001 brain aneurysm) and then quickly having two more children. I had just gone through a divorce (in 2003 from newspaper editor Bronstein), and that’s always rough. It’s like you’re the phoenix, trying to get up out of those ashes. (I turned a corner) just seeing my children love each other so much, laughing, hugging and kissing each other.
What would you wish for in the next five years?
I would wish for health in (my) family because we've had a lot of health challenges. My dad had esophageal cancer, which he recovered from and we're very grateful about, and I had my situation (a brain aneurysm), and my sister is challenged with lupus. So, I just wish health for everybody. I think that's the most important thing.
Do you ever feel insecure about your looks, career or being a mother?
Every person has moments of insecurity, and everybody has someone around who’d like to help them feel insecure! Try not to hang out with them. Those are just the people who don’t have enough to do.
