I think having children in general is always very helpful for acting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a great deal of child left in me and acting is fun. It's a make believe thing.
I grew up in an acting family. I was heavily discouraged from doing it myself when I was young, which is the only responsible route to take with any child, because it's not necessarily the easiest of lives.
Eventually, I'll go back to acting, but for right now, my children are the most important thing in the world to me.
I love acting with kids, cause they're great acting partners. They're totally present. Even when they're acting, they're still available and you can crack them up or something weird will happen and they'll go with it.
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
It's a wonderful thing working with young actors. I know a lot of people don't like working with children. I actually adore it, because you watch their imagination open up and you watch them start to learn this job that I've been doing for so long. They come with such a lack of cynicism.
Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.
The experience of having a child does crack you wide open. I felt like I suddenly had to rebuild the skin that I'd grown over the years before having a child. Perhaps that might be quite interesting in terms of acting.
Actors often behave like children, and so we're taken for children. I want to be grown up.
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.
