The G.I. Jane star, 57, explained on the Tuesday, July 28, episode of SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show that she had to heal after putting her desires on the backburner for years.

“It’s a process of learning to love yourself,” she said. “Accepting who you are just as you are. For me, I had changed myself so many times over and over to fit what I thought somebody else wanted.”

Moore continued, “It’s that idea that we’re kinda conditioned to work toward being desired, but we’re not supposed to have desires of our own. It really is commendable in our disposal times to go through the journey of really honoring the love that brought you together in the first place and to really give it everything you’ve got. But you can’t do that without that love and acceptance of yourself.”

The Ghost actress’ latest project — voicing the lead character on the erotic “Dirty Diana” podcast — explores the theme of women not knowing how to voice their own desires. Moore said that she has a connection to the character because she “fundamentally feels that she’s broken.”

“But Bruce didn’t want to be the guy who walked out on his family, who did that to his kid,” she wrote. “When he left to do Hudson Hawk, things were in a very precious state. I went over to visit once, and, frankly, I had the feeling that he had screwed around.”
