Julia Roberts, known for her Oscar-winning performance in Erin Brockovich, reflected on the early challenges she faced in her acting career. Despite her eventual success and admiration from colleagues such as Andrew Garfield, Roberts said she did not start her career with much confidence. She recalled encountering a few harsh critics early on, which led her to focus on the kind of person she wanted to become, rather than just her career goals.
Roberts described her years from 15 to 25 as filled with difficulties, noting that gratitude and endurance helped her through setbacks and insecurity. She explained that learning to handle criticism and embarrassment was essential in an industry where both are common. Roberts also shared a childhood memory of staying up late to watch a trumpeter perform on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
