Julia Roberts Generously Maternal

Happy mom Julia Roberts says her three babies and husband Danny Moder are all she wants to focus on – and perhaps a movie with Johnny Depp or some TLC for Britney Spears.

The lovely Julia Roberts granted Vanity Fair an interview for its December issue in which she talks about family life, moving to Los Angeles and her ideal cinematic project.

She told V. F that marrying Danny Moder was “the most correct decision I’ve ever made in my life—not that it was even a decision, because it just overtakes you,” according to a press release available on the magazine’s website. “My whole body knew,” she continues, adding that she still wants “to look pretty for him.”

“He’s a real creative force I like to be next to. Sometimes intellectually you’re on the same plane as a person, but you don’t feel connected to them in your soul, or you don’t like their politics or the way they tell jokes, but with Danny it’s all there.”

Julia and cameraman Danny Moder met on the set of her movie “The Mexican” in 2000. They married in 2002. In late November 2004, the couple welcomed twins, daughter Hazel Patricia and son Phinnaeus Walter. Their third child, son Henry Daniel Moder, was born this June.

“At this point I’m having so much fun with them,” Julia told V. F. of her three children. “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 also talks about environmentally-friendly diapers and her family’s “plight” with making less garbage. As to having her children turn to acting, Julia promptly answered that she would seek advice from Natalie Portman’s parents.

She and Natalie co-starred in 2004’s “Closer” and Julia says she was impressed with the way the young actress’s parents handled her acting career. “I would call Natalie Portman’s mother. Natalie is such a good actress, but she seems like such a sensible person… She [Natalie] said she only worked with people that her parents trusted, and she only worked when it didn’t impact her school. So there were definitely guidelines. No one does it that way, but they did it, so it can be done.

“I hope I don’t face that, though, because 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.”

Julia likewise expressed her concern for Britney Spears, whose personal troubles have been abundantly splashed over tabloids for months on end now. “I see and hear what's happening to Britney Spears and it's all I can do not to move her into my guesthouse and say, 'Okay, this is how it's going to be!' And just take care of her,” the actress said, as quoted by People.com.

As for now, the Academy Award winner is eagerly and excitedly awaiting the construction of the family’s new house in Malibu, something she says is a big step for her, a small-town Georgia girl. “Los Angeles has always intimidated me,” she confessed. “So I think that him building this house is as much a marriage as our relationship is of the things that I love and that he loves. It's a place where I think we'll be really content.”

The 40-year-old, who recently received the prestigious 22nd Annual American Cinematheque Award, still has career goals. “I would like to work with Johnny Depp,” she says. “I've known him a long time. I think he's so interesting, and I think we look alike in a funny way. So Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp and I will play brother and sister in something.”
