There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.
I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.
I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.
It's hard sometimes if you think a character should look a certain way and you're being pushed to do it differently. I've had fights over that. That's why it's so important that you work with good people.
When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But it's more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don't practice or preach it, however.
Fun wouldn't be the right word... it was the most difficult, challenging, physical, extraordinary stretch I've ever had to make, in all those wild regards.
I guess somehow I got a reputation of being able to dance.
Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.
I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.
We never left a set until we'd trashed it.
I was an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up.
I'm an actress and mom, and I probably don't have enough of an active spiritual life. And I don't know why people run around calling themselves by the names of religions when they don't actually practise them.
But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.
So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.
Motherhood definitely took the focus off of my work. And I didn't mind. I had a few panics when I thought that if I wanted to work I couldn't get a job anymore and then I would get one once in a while and it would make me feel better.
