HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Julia Roberts isn't one to stress out for long.
The 42-year-old actress admits she couldn't relate to author Elizabeth Gilbert's decision to take a year-long sabbatical to travel the world in order to find herself after her divorce.
"I think we all go through phases of hardship," explains Roberts, who portrays the writer in the movie adaption Eat Pray Love. "Hers is much bigger and broader - it's really more of a crisis in her life. We all go through some variation of that, whether we interpret it as a bad weekend or a bad moment in life."
The star, who has three kids with second husband Danny Moder, adds, "I come from the pick yourself up, dust yourself off attitude, but I had empathy for what she was going through and how she decided to go about solving it."
Despite raising her young children, Roberts insisted she didn't find it difficult moving her family around the world to be with her while she filmed scenes in Italy, India and Bali, admitting that the director had a harder job.
She added to Empire magazine: "I can organize three kids. The director Ryan Murphy and his team had to organize an entire production and a lot of gear and lights. It's a lot easier doing what I did."
