I feel being an actress is probably not half as difficult as being a mother, and I do not know when I will be ready for that kind of a decision.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like being a mother, and I want to be involved in my work, so I have to make choices. If you're a film actress, your career is from 20 to 45, but you can still dream.
Being a mother, singer and actress is a definite juggling act, but I don't think I would be comfortable any other way.
I love making movies, but I was ready to rationalize being only a mother if my career never got back on track.
When my career first began, I didn't have children - so there's a whole lot of difference in the way I choose roles now. Not just films for my children, but how long I'm going to be away, and is Dad going to be home while I'm gone. That sort-of factor plays a part.
I'm happy with the idea of being a mum first and an actress second - I'm perfectly content for people to think of me as a stay-at-home mum, rather than an actress, if that is their perception.
I am doing what I love; acting is what I love best after being a mother.
Becoming an actor is like becoming a father. It's not hard to become one. Making a life of it is the challenge.
There are many ways to be a mother. I have a lot of young actors I mentor, and my nieces and my nephews need a lot of love.
Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.
Being a father has fulfilled me in parts of my life that sustain me. It gives me a comfort and patience. All actors have this hole inside that they're trying to fill by performing. I'm anxious to keep creating, but I'm not so desperate any more because I have the love and support of my kids and wife.
