I mean, I had probably an illusion of being the wife that, you know, I wanted to create a home. I wanted to have children. I wanted him to be a husband. It was never going to be that way. It couldn't be that way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In my marriages, I'd lost parts of who I was because I was trying to mold myself into what I thought a man wanted me to be.
From the time I could speak, I knew I wanted to have children. It was just an innate desire.
Yet I wanted to have children, and I knew that was my purpose, but I wasn't going to settle.
I always knew I wanted to have children.
I didn't want to get married. What I knew of most men was something I didn't want any part of. I just wanted to work on my career.
The only thing I've ever wanted in my life is to be a mom and a wife.
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.
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 didn't want to get married, and I didn't want kids - I knew I wanted to act.
I wasn't interested in having children of my own. I know what would have happened - I'd have been left at home to look after the kids, and my career would have been over while my husband travelled the world.
