That’s superstar actress Gwyneth Paltrow covering the annual Daring issue of Harper’s BAZAAR talking about how she encourages her children to take risks.

The 44-year old Oscar winner who’s daughter Apple is twelve, continued; “I actually don’t need to encourage her to take risks. She likes to push herself; she wants to see how far she can get. It’s really inspiring to see that in a young woman. In my case, I’ve borne these two kids into a particularly strange circumstance. They are going to have to fend off a lot and protect themselves from a lot of projections and prejudice about who they are, coming from the family that they come from.

Paltrow, who also shares a ten year old son Moses with ex-Chris Martin also talked why women are amazing by 40.“If you haven’t taken all of life’s incredible knocks and disappointments and used them to become a fully integrated, self-expressing person by the time you’re 40, then what can I tell you?”

In the November Daring issue, on newsstands October 18, Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee chats with the founder of Goop about much more including daring, her drive, and why living well is the best revenge.
