It's interesting to me that I get cast as mothers and really maternal, sweet, nice people... Maybe I have a vulnerability or something; maybe that's what it is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As everyone, you do end up becoming your mother, but also as you're acting, I find out you become every member of your family, bits come out without you really wanting them to come out.
As a mother, you feel much more vulnerable. And when you're vulnerable, you're a much better actress.
I'm not the kind of person who needs to be a mother no matter what. Life brings you people. Maybe I'll nurture someone who's not my child, like a friend, or an actor I'm working with who needs some love.
I became the kind of parent my mother was to me.
I am a good and interested mother - which has surprised me.
As children, we think our mother has always been a mother, but it is just one of the roles you may have the opportunity to play. They don't define you as a human being.
I always wonder why people cast me in anything.
Being a mother adds another emotional dimension, a feel for children that I didn't have before I had one. They were a pain before.
I was certainly typecast for a while on television because I was always being cast as the 'compassionate mother' or whatever.
Mum asks why I am so often cast in adulterous roles. I think it must be because I am fairly flirty.
