Sharon Stone is bored of fame and fortune.

The 'Basic Instinct' star, who reportedly commands more than $15millionUS per movie, says family and friends are far more important to her than material wealth.

She confessed: "The one thing I've learned over the years is that fame and fortune are so fragile.

"There are far more important things in life and I'm appreciating them now.

"The love and friendship I was given during those dark times are the real things I value. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the attention of being an actress but there are many other things in life."

Meanwhile, the Oscar-winning star, 47, says she is happy to grow old gracefully and has ruled out plastic surgery.

The mother-of-two added in an interview with Britain's Now magazine: "I think like a young person and, although I try to keep myself fit and active, I won't be taking desperate measures like facelifts and plastic surgery.

"I'm a great believer in letting nature take its course and living with what I've been given."
