If you're working in theatre, you have all your days to spend with your children.

Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life.

It's true what people say - that actors are the closest thing there is to children. They play.

Being a part of the theater community has been important to me from the time I was a child, through my parents.

I think in television and film, it's not usually the child's point of view. It's the story of an adult. If there's a child in a drama or an action-adventure movie, they're someone who needs to be saved, someone who needs to be protected, or if they're killed, someone who needs to be avenged. Their character doesn't matter much.

At times, I feel sorry for kids who have succumbed in some kind of way to being a child actor.

For hundreds of years, that was the major form of entertainment: The grown-ups sat around and watched the kids play. Now they sit around and watch the television. The actors are the kids.

I took my children to see 'Son of Rambow,' about two boys who make a home movie with a video camera. When you have children, culturally you become involved in their life.

There are enough tears in any child's life; we certainly don't need to add to them in the name of entertainment.

My experience of children on a film set, especially on a big film set like the 'Potter' one, is not wholly positive.
