"Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you're younger. But I haven't abandoned the genre: I love falling down; I love Lucille Ball. It's just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can't convincingly portray at this age"

This quote by Julia Roberts speaks to the idea that as we age, our interests and the stories we inform change. She is stating that when she was younger, she discovered light and amusing stories more engaging, but as she has actually grown older, she has actually found that these stories focus on issues that she can no longer convincingly depict. This suggests that as we age, our interests and the stories we inform end up being more complicated and mature. Julia Roberts is still a fan of light and amusing stories, as evidenced by her love for Lucille Ball, but she is now more drawn to stories that show her existing age and experiences. This quote is a suggestion that our interests and stories develop as we age, and that it is necessary to welcome the changes that feature getting older.
