Alicia Silverstone reveals why shes burning the candle so hard

Alicia Silverstone is planning a major life shift. The actress, now 49, is openly yearning for a quieter, more domestic existence. She shared these personal revelations in an exclusive interview with People magazine this week.

Silverstone described herself as inherently “very domestic.” She confessed this desire for a calm home life is not new. The star has felt this way since she was in her twenties.

Finding Normalcy in a Hectic World

Silverstone admitted to burning the candle at both ends for years. She described her work ethic as being like a “machine.” This involves constant travel and a packed filming schedule.

The actress recently finished work on Yorgos Lanthimos’s new film, Bugonia. She then went straight into her role as a producer for Irish Blood. This non-stop pace left her feeling pulled in too many directions.

A Newfound Appreciation for Routine

The Clueless star is now consciously carving out time for tranquility. She is finding deep satisfaction in a simple, structured daily routine. This new focus brings her immense joy and a sense of balance.

Her perfect day now involves making breakfast for her son, Bear, and walking her dog. She values these peaceful morning rituals. This newfound stability offers a welcome contrast to her usual “insanity.”

Silverstone’s journey highlights a universal search for balance. Her embrace of “old-lady” dreams resonates with anyone seeking a slower pace. The actress proves that sometimes, the simplest life is the most fulfilling.
