The "Iron Man" actress, who is about to turn 40 next month, feels she is ageing well, reported Contactmusic.
"When you're midway through your life, it definitely raises questions, but it hasn't been about vanity or ageing. It's more about what I've achieved, what do I want to achieve for the rest of my life, and what direction do I want to go in? But I like being older.
"It's nice to actually know yourself and feel relaxed. And I actually think I look better now than I did when I was 24, so I'm very comfortable with myself," she said.
Paltrow is mother to two children, Apple, eight, and Moses, six, with her husband Coldplay singer Chris Martin.
