Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.

I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one.

You're always going to have to prove yourself, because acting is such a capricious game.

Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.

The parenting bit is much harder than the acting bit. You just never know what to do.

I think having children in general is always very helpful for acting.

I am passionate about acting. 'Girls in our family are not allowed to act' is quite an outdated thought to have. They did it till my mother, but now no more.

I don't have the acting skills my daughter has.

If I didn't have children I'd be a much better actress. I wouldn't be so distracted. I could pour 100 percent of my energies into it, to promote the investigation which acting is.

I am doing what I love; acting is what I love best after being a mother.
