Julianne Moore gets candid about power of films, building career

As she walked up the stage to receive her Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, actor Julianne Moore got candid about the power of films and how one shapes their career. Moore highlighted the contribution of films in reducing physical distance and political divides.

“When you have physical distance, and things that you don’t understand, it’s very hard to have empathy, unless you see it, unless you know it. And one of the ways to learn about it is through film,” Variety quoted Moore as saying.

Moore also opened up about how one chooses films at the beginning of their career and added, “At the beginning of your career, as a young actor, you don’t care what you do, because you just want to have a job. You do whatever’s available.”

She continued, “I’ve always felt that it’s my responsibility to find [great roles], to seek them out, to find the directors I want to work with. Right now, for the first time, I’m starting to develop material for myself.”
