The 54-year-old actress - who split from John Mellencamp last year - revealed she is happy being single and spending time with her children.

She told Porter magazine: "I'm on a little break [from love. I'm [in love] with my life right now in a way that I adore, with my kids and my world.

"I love my age. I love my life right now. I love what I know about. I love the person I've become, the one I've evolved into. In my life I've been scrappy as hell, but I feel easy with things now. I think that comes with age."

While Meg is perfectly content with her life right now, she hit out at how people talk about women getting older in Hollywood.

She explained: "There are more important conversations than how women look and how they are ageing. We get stuck in these conversations about looks and hair and our roots. It's interesting and funny for five minutes, but it's not that interesting.

"There's a lot of hatred in the world today - it's so easy to judge. Imagine being a hater, how stupid!"
