Speaking with People in a recent interview in New York City, Paltrow gave a rare insight into her parenting style and her desire to allow her kids to be whoever they want to be.

“I think all the mistakes I made were being talked in or out of something,” she continued, implying that she hopes her kids don’t do the same.
