Gwyneth Paltrow Gets Honest On Women in 'Harper's Bazaar' UK February 2015

Gwyneth Paltrow shows off her legs in a black ensemble on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar UK magazine’s February 2015 issue, out on newsstands on Friday (January 2)!

Here’s what the 42-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On her new life in LA: “There’s a deep comfort about it because it’s so familiar. The other day I was lying on the grass and the kids were playing and I was looking at the blue sky and the palm-trees – and there was something about the weather and the smell and I was, like, eight years old again. I had such a strong memory of being a kid here – it’s a really nice place to be a little kid, and it’s great to watch my children have that experience.”

On women criticizing other women: “Women really need to examine why they’re so vitriolic to other women; why they want to twist words, why they want to read about someone else in a negative light and why that feels good to them… But I also know a huge tribe of women who are loving and supportive of other women, in ways that are completely transformative.”

On her opinions on a woman’s right to define herself as she chooses: “I think we are a generation of women who are different in a lot of respects, and some of us want to be ambitious, and for it not to be a dirty word. We want to be feminine and soft, we want to be maternal, we want to be sexual, we want to be explorers – and we can be a combination of all of these archetypes. You can be powerful, but you can also be vulnerable… [I have] learnt the power of kindness and the importance of non-judgemental ways of looking at others.”
