Demi Moore recalled stepping away from the spotlight after heartbreaking loss.
In a recent chat with Glamourthe 62-year-old actress recalls a time when her life took a turn after her mother passed away and her marriage ended.
“Well, it was a realization after striving, working hard, getting lucky with certain films, having really huge success and that [was] capable of keeping me moving forward and giving me even greater opportunities.”
Moore admitted that it was a time of realizing that fame and success were not truly fulfilling and she took a break to focus on her children.
She went on to say, “And then certain personal things happen. My mother died, my marriage ended, and I resigned from work to be with my children, and there was a moment when I realized that my own success – which had been a real drive, a real motivation – was not enough.”
The actress revealed that after years of hard work and success, she needed to reconnect with her purpose and find meaning in life again.
“I had to reconnect with what moved me — why was I really doing this? We know that external success is never the answer. And so I think it took me quite a while to recalibrate to really find that place within me that felt that what I had to offer from within was worthy of striving to do meaningful work,” she added.
