So, I decided that whatever I was, wanted to do with my life, it would have to do, it would have to have something to do with the exploration and doing new things.

There had to be something else out there that would help me change. I wanted to live.

I've sort of mellowed out. It used to be: I want to be a star, do big movies. Now, being married, it's like the reasons I wanted to do that seem the wrong reasons. I want to have kids.

Yet I wanted to have children, and I knew that was my purpose, but I wasn't going to settle.

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.

I made the choice long ago to write about real life. And life is both serious and funny.

I had to make a major decision with myself because I just don't think you can do both: try to have a baby career and raise it and have a baby baby and raise it. And to try to do justice to either one. It was a very conscious decision on my part not to have children - which I have never regretted.

I was just living my life, and that's what I wanted to do.

Even if you're happy with the life you've chosen, you're still curious about the other options.

I'm just kind of taking whatever life gives me and hoping that I make the right decision.
