There are other things that are just as, if not more, important to the actress.

Julia Roberts has built quite the career for herself, becoming one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood.

The star sat down with CBS Sunday Morning anchor Jane Pauley this morning, where she talked about everything from how she got started in her career to her home life with her husband, Daniel Moder, and her kids, to her new film, Ticket to Paradise.

During the interview, the actress noted that acting wasn't her plan until she came across a talent agent who also knew her brother, Eric Roberts. After meeting with the agent, she booked her first role as a waitress in the 1988 film Mystic Pizza—and the rest, as they say, was history. 

Although becoming an actor was never her intention, her career is now a "dream come true" for Roberts, but she mentioned that being an actor never consumed her. "It is my dream come true, but it is not my only dream come true," she clarified.

"The life that I've built with my husband, the life that we've built with our children, that's the best stuff," she said regarding her other dreams that have come to fruition. "To come home at the end of the day triumphantly to them," she said about her family.

Roberts and Moder, who married back in 2002, share three children together: twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 17, along with their 15-year-old son Henry

The actress is in the middle of the press cycle for her first rom-com in 20 years, which follows Roberts and actor George Clooney, who play a divorced couple, as they travel to Bali in order to stop their daughter from making the same mistake they made 25 years prior. 

The film, Ticket to Paradise, will be out in theaters on Oct. 21.
