I think it's really interesting to play a woman who can articulate that she isn't ready to have a family and isn't even sure if she wants a family. I have a lot of friends like that. But obviously, that's not me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women are supposed to want to settle down and have a family. That's not for me.
I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one.
Sometimes, if you don't have kids yourself, it's assumed you won't understand or know how to play a mom, which is kind of silly if you think about it.
It's great to play somebody's wife, but not all the time. There's so many other stories to tell.
I'm very supportive of women getting to a place in life when it's right for them to start a family. It's important for women to take their time to come into their own. I only want to say we might not have as much time as we think we have.
I think it's the great thing about having kids. They have interests that you might not have, and it opens your horizons.
My sister is not my mother, but more than anyone else, she fills that role for me now - like it or not. And indeed, all women I know play that role for somebody - like it or not.
I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.
You see actors who make family work, but it's difficult for any woman.
I love to play women who are strong and unapologizing and kind of rough around the edges and don't care what anybody thinks about that.
