Julia Roberts has vowed never to retire from Hollywood.

The "Pretty Woman" star took time out of her movie-making schedule to become a mother, but insists she is not planning on giving up her career for good.

Julia said, "Let's get a couple of things straight. It hasn't been years and years since I made a movie. I'm not coming back from the dead - I've just had two kids!"

"I have no intention of retiring, but I do think it's impossible to do movie after movie, because there aren't that many good films made. But I already have an acting project set for this year. I start shooting 'Duplicity' with Clive Owen in the spring."

The 40-year-old actress has three children with her cameraman husband Danny Moder - three year-old twins Hazel and Phinneaus and six-month-old Henry - and thinks it is important to find a balance between her professional and personal lives.

Speaking about her latest film "Charlie Wilson's War", Julia added, "We shot a lot of the film in Los Angeles and I could get home to the kids when I wanted to."

"That's important, and I can't deny I've taken a longer break from acting these past two years, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything. I did a play and found other ways to fulfill my creative impulses."

"Now I have time to enjoy great literature like 'Leonardo The Terrible Monster!'"
