Julia Roberts revealed that she still gets nervous before her movie projects.
The actress is back on the screen later this year with the adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's novel Eat Pray Love, a memoir in which Roberts takes on the role of Gilbert.
And despite having enjoyed a career that has spanned over twenty years and countless movies the actress admits that she is still gets nervous about her movies.
Speaking to MSN the actress said: If I'm not feeling anxious and excited and nervous, then I haven't invested much in it and I shouldn't be there.
"So, really, I just want to put myself in a position where I am really feeling like I have to ramp up and accomplish my goals."
Eat Pray Love is a second movie of 2010 for Roberts as she was part of the ensemble cast of romantic comedy Valentine's Day, which reunited her with filmmaker Garry Marshall.
Eat Pray Love is directed by Ryan Murphy and the filmmaker admits that he too was nervous about working with the Oscar winner.
"I was really nervous before I met her because I have been a fan, too. I have seen all of her movies," he said.
"Nothing surprises me about her because what you see is what you get with Julia, which is why I think people love her and why she lasts and continues to last.
"Because she is very sincere, very empathetic, and compassionate. What I didn't know is how funny she was."
