Demi Moore has life-changing advice for everyone, and she follows it herself. The 63-year-old actress opened up about the concept of ‘perfection’ and why she doesn’t aspire to be ‘perfect.’ She revealed the incident of how someone introduced her to this interesting concept.
When Demi Moore’s perspective about perfection shifted
During a ‘Power Talks’ panel discussion hosted by Kérastase at NYA Studios in Los Angeles on March 3, ‘The Substance’ actress shared her candid thoughts. She said that she used to strive to be “perfect,” but her perspective shifted after she received some life-changing wisdom.
“I had somebody say something so interesting about being perfect, because I certainly have been trapped by trying to be perfect,” said Moore. “(They) said, ‘Do you know anyone that’s perfect?’ And I said, ‘No.’ [They said], ‘Do you know anything that’s perfect?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t know anything that’s perfect.’ And he said, ‘Well, why would you want to be no one and nothing?’”
Demi Moore doesn’t want to limit herself by societal rules
The actress also said that she tries not to limit herself based on arbitrary societal rules around gender and aging. “I remember being told, ‘Well … when you get to be a certain age, you should cut your hair, you shouldn’t have long hair.’ And it didn’t make sense to me of why that was some collective rule that existed,” she explained.“And I felt like, ‘Well, who says that that’s how it has to be? Why shouldn’t you have it however you feel the most beautiful, the most comfortable, the most confident? So … I let my hair grow, and I am quite attached to it,” added Demi Moore.“If I wake up in gratitude, then I can step into that day already from a space of openness and possibility,” she added. Moore said that she firmly believes that getting older doesn’t mean you have to stop changing.
