Gwyneth Paltrow is featured on the July cover of Harper’s Bazaar talking about her family, her new haircut, and more.
On her new haircut:
“I was very, very attached to my hair. I grew it when I was pregnant. I still had hair from when my father was alive. I made it like a talisman. And then I was ready to let go of it, and so I chopped it off and … aaah!”
On her fear of returning to work after taking time off to have children:
“In this business, they don't look back, and they're particularly harsh to women. I'm not 25; I'm 35. I'm not someone to discover; I'm someone who people know. I mean, it's all ego, but you start to feel like, Oh, no, I worked so hard to get somewhere, and what if I can't get back there again? But, all the while knowing that, I would never have traded one second or done anything differently.”
On her body after having children:
"All the negative things have actually ended up being really positive because they've kick-started me into thinking how I want to look for the rest of my life. And you know, I don't want to look like a mother who doesn't care. For myself, for my work, and for my relationship, I want to look good."
On her pregnancies:
"My mother loved each one to bits; she felt alive and beautiful. I wanted to throw up all the time"
On having more children:
"I may force myself to do it one more time because the result is so worth it. And also my dad said to me that his only regret in life was that he had only two children and he didn't have more."
On the possibility of adopting a child:
I'm very open to it. And I do feel we're so fortunate, and we kind of owe it to humanity. We have a lot of love to give and a lot of resources."
On being an artist at heart:
"One of the things I realized when I took so much time off is that you're not just an artist because you fall into the job. It's something within you, something that burns. It's not a hobby, it's a need."
