On Sharon Stone's first trip to China, the stunning and intelligent 49-year-old mother of three spoke about her feelings on aging, single parenthood, charity and sex. And some of her comments surprised her audience.
 
Currently in Shanghai to promote a new anti-aging facial skincare item, a reporter asked the celebrity how to combat the signs of aging,
 
"How can people be so selfish and obsessed with that 'I'm getting older'? Buy yourself some face cream, go somewhere and do something nice for someone else. There are hundreds of people who are dying because no cares about them,. They would be so happy and grateful to be able to age."
 
She went on, speaking emotionally and sincerely from her heart, "You should realize how lucky you are when you have a wrinkle. That means you are alive. That means you have laughed and cried, you have emotions because someone cares about you and you care about someone. When you have time to look in the mirror – that's extra time, use it wisely."
 
It seems that the still stunning actress practices what she preaches. She recently hosted an auction at the Cannes Film Festival to raise money for the American Foundation for Aids Research, a cause that appears very important to Stone. After the Festival, she attended the Vienna's Life Ball with 40,000 partygoers to fundraise for "Treat Asia", a program that sends donations to fund research for Aids in Asian countries.
 
When Sharon Stone isn't traveling the world pursuing her charitable causes, she is busy as a single mother of three children. She has dubbed her children the "Three Geminis" and insists that parenthood is the same whether you're famous or not. "I have all the same worries and concerns about my life and my children as you do," she explains.
