Mandy Moore says being married makes her feel like an adult.
“Marriage is such a mark of adulthood in my mind,” the 25-year-old, who married rocker Ryan Adams earlier this year, told People magazine. “It still feels not entirely real. Things are wonderful, and there’s such a peaceful settledness about it.
“But sometimes I can’t wrap my head around it. It seems bizarre but really cool at the same time, like, ‘Wow – I did that!’”
“I’m enjoying life, but I was enjoying it before [marriage] too,” she adds. “It’s not like, ‘Oh, my life is complete now.’ I just have this extra incredible bonus of my best friend in the whole world, getting to spend every day with him.”
Moore — who released her debut album, So Real, in 1999 — went on to admit that’s a little embarrassed about her early work.
“Anyone would be embarrassed of what they did at 15 or 16,” she says. “I listen back to that first record and I’m like, ‘Compared to what my contemporaries were doing, it was crappy.’ You listen to an early Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera song, and they are great pop songs. I just don’t feel like on that first record I got anywhere near anything great. But it was a fun place to start.”
