Julia Roberts is quite alright working less and spending more time at home.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, the 43-year-old wife and mom says she has no "mom guilt."

"Nope," she says, explaining that she's scaled back the amount of work she now takes on. "I felt I earned the right to stay home and be home and get super selective about what I wanted to do work wise."

Roberts, who has been married to cameraman Daniel Moder since 2002, has three children -- Henry, 3 and twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 6. Part of her time at home includes cooking for her family, but she has a few conditions when she's in the kitchen. "I have a steadfast rule that I run a kitchen, not a diner," she says. "So I just make one meal… I try to be healthy, but listen, I love myself some bacon! So I have to cook what I think we're all going to enjoy.. But I try to make it as healthy as possible."

You people only think you know what goes on in her house. While i may not like all of her movies she's made more movies then you ever will sounds like sour grapes to me.

Yes please, stay at home and shut up, maybe hire Jennifer ANiston as nanny no. 4. No more dumb movies with horseface and fake-grin-I might-bite-you-face would be nice and both of you could donate the money you got for the last celluloid offenses to charity. THAT would be nice for a change. And a comment like "women should stay at home" is so braindead and dumb, it is sad to see that some women still are their own worst enemies. Poor thing.

You go girl!! I think this whole generation of working women(who pay for someone else to raise their children)has screwed it up really badly!!

FYI. Careful with your words. A person named Patrice Love will send you a offensive message on FB just because she does not like what you said about her fav. star(s). I don't know her but I can tell she is a nut case. Heads up!
