Julia Roberts Says She'll 'Do' More Romantic Comedies But Nothing' Good Enough.'

"If I think something is good enough, I will," says Julia Roberts about why she hasn't explored the romantic comedy genre for years.

Julia Roberts' days as a romantic presenter are far from over.

In an interview published on Friday, the 54-year-old Oscar winner said he wouldn't mind making another romantic comedy but didn't think any were "good enough" when speaking with the New York Times.

"People sometimes misunderstand when I'm not doing a romantic comedy because I don't want to do it," says Roberts. "If I read something that I think is the level of writing in Notting Hill or the level of crazy fun for my best friend's wedding, I will read it. They didn't exist until the film I just made, written and directed by All Parker. He could star in Parker Tickets. to Heaven later this year, with George Clooney as a divorced mother and father trying to convince his daughter Lily (Caitlin Dever) not to make the same mistake she made after she decides to marry a stranger traveling to Bali with her best friend Gelatik (Billy Lourdes). ).

It's also the math equations of my husband's work schedule. Me and the children's school schedule and summer vacation," she explained. I am a housewife.

"In so much of my younger children's lives, they saw their dad leave, and I did a little bit of work, but they barely noticed. It was like I wasn't there when I took a nap or something. But as I got older, and especially with my daughter, I have a sense of responsibility to show my kids that I can be creative, and that's important to me — so important that sometimes I choose to focus more on that from my family, which I have a hard time reconciling,' added Roberts.
