Demi Moore shares that before her role in The Substance, there were questions raised in her mind about her career as an actor.
Sharing her views during the Los Angeles Times Actress Roundtable, she said, "I went through a period where I didn’t quite find where I belonged. The material I was seeing, it was like nothing was bad, but nothing was great."
"My question became, is this part of my life complete? Have I done what I was supposed to do here? And then I realized that if I didn’t have the answer to that question, I have to then inject the focus and energy to answer that question," she added.
In the wake of facing a "low point" in her life, Demi said The Substance role came to her when she made up her mind to leave the 'internal troubles' behind.
"And what’s interesting is, as soon as I made that shift, The Substance two weeks later arrived across my desk. And it was the first piece of material in a very long time that I felt moved by," the Striptease actress concluded.
