You're not insulting my character. Being a woman, especially in this business, it's so thrilling to get to do that. It's so rare, especially right now the way the film industry is. If you're a girl, the part you get to play these days...because there's so many less movies made...in a good movie, if there's a girl in it, there might be a handful of scenes, and your job is to be supportive to the guy who's messed up. Be the loving rock at home, or be the good mom, or be the attractive person.
Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.
I don't think I ate a green vegetable until I was 30. I didn't grow up with a mom who enforced that at all.
You don't get to be the bad mom and still succeed at your job and be tough. It's such a good job because it's so rare. It's a really rare job.
I like getting to be in the adult world a little bit and then getting to be in the mom world and cook dinners. And, for me, that balance is what makes it nice.
You instantly become less selfish. You can't be the biggest person in the world anymore-they are. [Motherhood] really grounds you.
I know not every mom is a secret KGB spy, but every mom has this whole other life. Every dad and every person has this whole other life.
