Acting makes me a better mother, says Julia Roberts

London, July 13: Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts has said that acting makes her a better mother. The 41-year-old who has three children, four-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and two-year-old Henry, with husband Danny Moder still accepts movie roles because they "recharge" her in a way her family can`t, reports contactmusic.com.

"I still find it fun making movies. I jokingly say that it`s fun to spend time with people who are more than three and a half feet tall. Going to work recharges me on a whole different level," she said. "When I come home to my family, I`m more enriched. When you`re a mum, so much happens within the confines of your home, so when you venture outside for a while, it adds to the colours of your life," she added. Roberts, however, insists her children are always happy, whether she`s working or not. "When I look at my children I see a real sense of joy. They`re happy kids," she said. IANS
