Recently, Moore sat down with PEOPLE magazine to dish about many lessons she has learnt in her 62 years on planet Earth. One of the things is how grateful she is for her body and all the things it has “brought” her to.
“I have a greater appreciation for all that my body has been through that brought me to now,” she told the outlet. “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.”
