NEW YORK (AP) -- Gwyneth Paltrow made her dream come true by becoming
a movie star. Now her dreams are more mundane.

"Acting isn't everything to me," Paltrow says in the January issue of
InStyle magazine. "My family -- that always comes first."

Paltrow's life has always been elite. The daughter of actress Blythe
Danner and producer Bruce Paltrow, she grew up in New York City,
where she attended an exclusive private school. Once romantically
linked with Brad Pitt, her boyfriend now is Academy Award-winner Ben
Affleck.

Still, despite her privileged background and success in recent films
like Sliding Doors, A Perfect Murder and Shakespeare in Love, Paltrow
wants more -- like more control over her life.

"You get to a point where you're thinking, Where do I want to live,
what kind of life do I want?" she said. "One day I hope to have the
power to determine my own destiny."
