There's a great deal of child left in me and acting is fun. It's a make believe thing.

One of the things I love about acting is that I can enter into these other people's lives. But going back to being me at the end of the day is very important, too. That process of remembering who I am.

I love acting so much that I have to have that as much as I have to have my time with my kid.

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

Acting wasn't what I wanted to do forever. I wanted a home, and I wanted children.

Acting's not my whole life. My children definitely come first.

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.

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

I knew I wanted children in my life. The acting was always in relation to it. Life at home is chaos. They're wonderful. They're such interesting human beings. I just love it. I'm lucky.

When my second child was born, I gave up acting - two young children out on the road was too difficult to manage. I'd always written, but began to do so with real commitment now that it was my only creative outlet. I used all my acting techniques to do it. I still do.
