Demi Moore on Living in a House Full of Women

With three daughters at home, Demi Moore tries to not overwhelm husband Ashton Kutcher with estrogen at home.
"We're loaded with females," the actress tells V magazine for its spring preview issue. "Recently we added a male puppy to our family mix. We had all female dogs before that."

There is one other male member of the household - her assistant - to help keep things a little more balanced. "Thank goodness I have a male assistant – otherwise Ashton would have gone from being a single guy with a male roommate to being overloaded," she says.

Moore says Kutcher has taken the changes in his life with stride since the two of them met. "I definitely can't answer for him but I think it certainly wasn't a difficult transition. Ashton's relationship with his own mother is really wonderful, so it made the transition to being with a woman with daughters something he didn't bat an eye at. It also says a lot about the confidence that he holds within himself as an individual."

Another major change for the actress who had raised her daughters in Idaho isolated from the Hollywood scene - is watching her daughters adapt to life in the Hollywood spotlight. Her daughter Rumer, 19, especially has hit the scene and is making a name for herself on the party circuit. Demi finds the transition "a little bit scary. It's hard to say no to curious teenagers when exciting events or things are happening. You can't live in a bubble. A key thing, and I've said this before, is to try to help your children be good decision makers."

Demi is trying not to be diverted by the talk of growing older in Hollywood, she says: "It's important not to get yourself obsessed, because it's a game you're going to lose. When people get too obsessed we start to see these faces that don't move and are so manipulated that there’s no life to them anymore. One of the most important things about anti-aging is really in your thinking, it's what you believe.

"If you think you're old, feel that you're done growing, then you're going to have a stale life force around you. I've always enjoyed being childlike and placed an importance on being silly and playing and remembering not to take myself too seriously, because I certainly have in the past."
