Demi Moore looks back on her career after the lead role in Charlie’s Angels – Full Throttle alongside Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.

“Interestingly, I felt (criticism) more when I turned 40. I had Charlie’s Angelsand there was a lot of talk about that scene in the bikini, and it was all very exaggerated, a lot of talk about how I looked,” Moore told Michelle Yeoh for interview Magazine. “And then I realized that there didn’t seem to be a place for me. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel like I belonged. It was more that I felt like I’m not 20, I’m not 30, but I wasn’t what they perceived as a mother yet.”

After her role as Madison Lee in the film Charlie’s Angels sequel, Moore questioned her place in Hollywood.

“Where do I fit in? It was a time that didn’t feel dead, it felt flat,” Moore said. “I don’t know if I’ve ever done that when I’ve encountered something that I don’t understand is a limitation.”

She continued, “I have to say, there was a moment when I started to question whether this is really what I’m meant to be doing. Maybe this part of my life is finished. Not even finished, but finished. Then I realized if I’m going to question it, I have to give it energy so I know for sure.”

McG directed the action comedy and Moore played the film’s villain, a former angel who went into business as an independent agent.
