Demi Moore remembers stepping away from the spotlight after heartbreaking losses.
In a recent conversation with Charmthe 62-year-old actress recalled a time when her life took a turn after the death of her mother and the end of her marriage.
“Well, it’s an achievement after working hard, after getting lucky with some films, having really huge success, and that [was] able to move me forward and offer me even more opportunities.
Moore admitted that it was a time when she realized that fame and success weren’t really fulfilling and she took a break to focus on her children.
She went on to say: “And then some personal things happen. My mother died, my marriage ended and I left work to be with my children and at some point I realized that my own success – which had been a real driving force, a real motivation – wasn’t enough.”
The actress revealed that after years of hard work and success, she needed to reconnect with her purpose and find meaning in life.
“I had to reconnect with what was moving me — why was I really doing this? We know that outward success is never the answer. And so I think the recalibration took me a while to really find the place within myself that felt like what I had to offer from within was worth striving for to do meaningful work,” she added.
