"There's no such thing as anti-aging — it's all a crock of sh*t, you can't go back in time. So for me, it's about living in this moment, the best that I can. Contentment is about coming to terms with life as it is, rather than getting all pissed off that things didn't fit into your little prescribed box. And it's much bigger. For the first time in my life I'm content. I'm so excited. Getting older is the best part of life. Like, I know more than I've ever known. I have gratitude. I know myself better. I feel more capable than ever. And as far as the physicality of it — I feel better at 40 than I did at 25."

The Hollywood A-lister was also candid about marriage and why she has never tied the knot.

"It just wasn't the thing I was drawn to. I certainly didn't want it in my twenties. Or my thirties. And I'm going to be 40 in three weeks. So we'll see! I'd always wanted to get hitched in Vegas at least three times. It's funny because as my girlfriends get older, I see how their relationships have evolved, and you know, the people you're drawn to changes. I'm not attracted to the same people that I was drawn to in my twenties."
