I suddenly had this really mad desire to have an affair with a woman. I was divorced. I was childless. I figured there's got to be one more way to really tick off my mom.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Mother had committed me for life. This is where I felt betrayed the most.
I've shared the fate of many working mothers; I felt guilty like them.
I didn't want a divorce but had to because of circumstance.
I was not a very good mother. I was always running out to do a movie or something. If I had to do it over, I would either have a career or children. I wouldn't do both unless I could work in my home. I spent 20 years feeling guilty, which is not a very nice emotion.
I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.
I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.
I didn't want to get married, and I didn't want kids - I knew I wanted to act.
I wish I had a great relationship with my mother.
I had to go on without my mother, even though I was suffering terribly, grieving her.
One day it was about getting married that mother talked with me, and I said I was so glad that when you didn't like being married, or got tired of your husband, you could get Unmarried.
