“I have a greater appreciation for all that my body has been through that brought me to now,” she said of aging in Hollywood.
“It doesn’t mean that sometimes I look in the mirror and don’t go, ‘Oh God, I look old,’ or ‘Oh, my face is falling’ — I do. But I can accept that that’s where I’m at today, and I know the difference today is that it doesn’t define my value or who I am," the actress reflected.

Regarding The Substance’s success, Moore said, “I think there’s an aspect that we all have experienced, which is compare and despair. And it isn’t necessarily just about our outsides. It’s that harsh, self-critical judgment.”
