Gwyneth Paltrow - Harper's Bazaar May 2013

Gwyneth Paltrow is white hot on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar‘s May 2013 issue, on newsstands April 23.

Here’s what the 40-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On her future after turning 40: “I’m at quite a pivotal point: Do I want to go back more into films? Do I want another child? Do I want to move back to the States? You can call me a lot of things, but you can’t call me complacent!”

On what she’s learned in life: “I don’t hold on to fear as much as I used to, because I’ve learned a lot about genuinely not caring what strangers think about me. It’s very liberating. It’s very empowering, and I’ve learned a lot of that from Jay-—Shawn Carter—Z, because his approach to life is very internal. It’s a very good lesson to learn.”

On her husband Chris Martin: “We are growing into very similar people. It’s cool, it’s good. It’s not always easy, though!”
