Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.
Acting is a strange profession, and, yes, sometimes I struggle with its worth, its value in the world.
Acting happened to me. If I had pursued it, I think it would have been like someone going to a bar, desperately looking for love and not finding anyone.
I think I'm probably more passionate about acting now than when I was a kid. When I was young, I didn't know what I was doing.
I think the first time I realized I was actually acting was during Felicity. Before that, I was just going along for the ride.
