Despite playing an older character at times on TV and working in an industry that puts unneccessary pressure on women, Moore said the whole experience has made her more grateful to age. "I've loved getting older. I wouldn't go back to my 20s if you paid me," she said. "I love being at this stage of my life and the wisdom and clarity that comes with it. It's fun to look at pictures of myself and see the little lines around my eyes and see my smile lines — I feel like I've lived a full and happy life and that's just another indication of it."
As for her character, she added: "It's really cool seeing myself aged up, mainly because I don't recognise myself," she said. "I don't see my mom or my grandma in the character. It feels very much like, 'Oh, that's just the character at 68.'"
