The 44-year-old Academy Award winning actress has three children with husband Danny Moder and although she feelsincredibly blessed with her personal and professional good fortune, she doesn't credit it all to simple luck, reportedContactmusic.
"I think I'm more in control of my life, my confidence and drive to do the work that I love and to believe that I cando it. I don't think it's magic dust that made Danny appear or director Mike Nichols. I think that I'm a deeply optimisticperson. I'm a hopeful person. I mean that's sort of the cornerstone of fairytales," she said.
Roberts also credits Pretty Woman director Garry Marshall and The Pelican Brief filmmaker Alan Pakula withsteering her career.
"In essence I owe my career to Garry Marshall. There was no known reason for him to hire me for Pretty Woman. Andeven he was puzzled by his decision".
"But I owe the forward motion of my career to Alan Pakula. It wasn't until I met him and he had written thescreenplay for Pelican Brief. We had a really interesting conversation about it and it re-ignited my enthusiasm foracting," she added.
