I always wanted kids but I always thought I'd have kids later on in my life, maybe when I turn 30. I really wanted to focus on my career, but you meet the right person and your whole world changes.

I knew from very early on that I wanted kids. I wasn't one of those women who goes, 'Well, if it happens, it happens.' I really wanted a family. Although I didn't actually have my first child until I was 37, I always felt I'd get there.

For a long time, I wanted children. When I was about 30 or 32, I really thought about it.

I didn't have time for my children much. I wasn't a very good parent; I had a pretty unhappy home life.

I never wanted children. If I'd been deeply in love with a man and he'd wanted children, it would have been difficult.

I was with someone at 19, and I was married at 23, and I didn't want kids when I was in my 20s.

I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children. I did and I do and I will!

And you know when I was growing up, I knew I wanted to have kids, but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41, 42, I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on, but even then it would be with a partner.

I am lucky in that I love what I do, but it can still be hard to be away from the kids for long lengths of time. At the end of the day, all I want is to be with my kids, but it's worth it to create a future for my family.
