As someone who started out young in Hollywood and was no stranger to tabloid headlines, Julia Roberts knows a thing a two about how the fame game is a double-edged sword.

The Mirror, Mirror actress shared her thoughts to Vanity Fair about how much has changed since she was first finding her footing in the business.

“The business is so different; you can never be that new girl that has that moment of ‘Where’d she come from?’” she says.

“There’s the express elevator and there’s rehab. It’s so awful; nobody gets a fair trial-and-error period that everybody deserves and everybody needs.”

Although she may feel for new thespians breaking in, she’s says she’s always been concerned her kids; 7 year-old twins Finn and Hazel; and 4 year-old Henry; are not confused by her celebrity status.

Roberts recalls a time “on a crowded street, and somebody noticed me, and then another person noticed. Somebody said as we were walking past, ‘Oh, that’s Julia Roberts.’ We all just kind of kept going, and then Finn said, ‘Yeah, my mom’s Julia Robinson.’ That’s what gives you perspective. It could be Robinson, it could be Johnson, because it has nothing to do with me as a person.”
