Just like many of us working parents, Julianne Moore was quite upset when she couldn't make it to a school trip with her daughter. Instead, she was committed to a press day for her new film "Savage Grace."

"She was very upset that I couldn't come," says Moore. She explains that the trip had been postponed a day, but because she was committed to this press day, she was missing out. All she could think about was her daughter at the zoo.

She's definitely nothing like her character in Savage Grace. From IMDB: The true story of the beautiful and charismatic Barbara Daly, who married above her class to Brooks Baekeland, heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune. Their only child is a failure in his father's eyes, and as he matures and becomes increasingly close to his lonely mother, the seeds for tragedy are sown.

She does her best though. Living in New York helps since a lotcan be done close to home.

"I feel pretty good right now because I've just finished a job, so I can take some time off as the kids wrap up the school year," says Moore, who is married to filmmaker Bart Freundlich ("Trust the Man").

"I'm happy to be home, planting stuff in my garden," she adds. "New York really is the best place in the world to live. Every time I go away, I'm always happy to come back."
