" Julia Louis-Dreyfus is best known for her role as Elaine on the hit series Seinfeld, but she&amp;#039;s been acting now for over 25 years. Woman&amp;#039;s Day recently caught up with her to find out what she thinks about family, having kids and her new show, The New Adventures of Old Christine.   I love traveling with my family. Not long ago, we went to Peru and we had the best time. It&amp;#039;s nice to get out of where we live in Los Angeles and look around the world and see how other people live. You come home and really appreciate what you have.   My husband is a wonderful father. We&amp;#039;re very simpatico when it comes to our kids. That doesn&amp;#039;t mean we&amp;#039;ve never had arguments, but we have a shared sense of how we want to raise our children. That has been very important.   Having kids is such a miracle. They have personalities, thoughts, points of view, and they make jokes and take things seriously. It&amp;#039;s fascinating to see. You learn from your kids as they grow. That&amp;#039;s a real gift.   My Halloween costumes were never that great, though I love dressing up. One year when I was a kid, I was a television set, a box that I painted. Then it rained, so I was a drippy television set. I always bought costumes for my kids. I don&amp;#039;t make my own\u2014I&amp;#039;m not a handy mama that way. But I know how to drive to a costume store and get a really cheap vampire outfit.   Frankly, if it were up to my kids, they&amp;#039;d only eat Twinkies and Cocoa Puffs. But it isn&amp;#039;t up to them because I don&amp;#039;t buy that stuff. It&amp;#039;s important to always try to have something to look forward to. That might mean something good to eat, going to see a movie, getting back to a book, watching something on TV, going on a hike. It&amp;#039;s a good way to live.   I just read this incredible book called Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson, which I highly recommend. It took my breath away. Honestly, is there anything quite as fabulous as reading a book you can&amp;#039;t put down?   It&amp;#039;s True:    Both Julia and her husband, Brad Hall, worked for Saturday Night Live.   Julia is a foot shorter than Brad (he&amp;#039;s 6&amp;#039;3&amp;quot;, she&amp;#039;s 5&amp;#039;3&amp;quot;)   Still funny: Elaine&amp;#039;s dancing on Seinfeld.   Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars in The New Adventures of Old Christine on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
