ROBERTS REVEALS GARDENING LOVE

Hollywood actress Julia Roberts has said her goal in life now is to stay at home and take care of her children.

In an interview for the coming issue of Vanity Fair, the Oscar winner said she was eager to pursue a greener lifestyle as a homemaker.

She told the magazine that she was happy raising her children and staying away from the celebrity limelight.

Speaking about her plans for the future, the 40-year-old star said: "The highest high would be growing our food that I then make, and then composting and growing more - that kind of circle."

The Pretty Woman actress also said that she was eager to reduce the amount of waste she and her family produced and revealed that plans for adding to the brood were on hold for now.

"At this point I’m having so much fun with them. You only have so much energy and you want to put so much energy into each child. I wouldn't know how to have five kids. And they're a really good trio, these three," she added.

In the interview, Roberts criticised the media attention on young actors as being a "circus sideshow", adding that she would be wary of her children becoming full-time child stars.

Asked how she would react if one of her children wanted to get into showbusiness, she said that it was important for young stars to balance school with film commitments and to only work with people their parents trusted.

"I think kids should be kids and childhood should be filled with … you know that smell, when your kids come in and they smell like dirt and sweat and sunshine? That's what I hope for my kids," Roberts said.
