I love being a mother. I loved being a daughter, a sister, a wife. I love being a woman with men. I love having given birth.

Image
If I didn't have children I'd be a much better actress. I wouldn't be so distracted. I could pour 100 percent of my energies into it, to promote the investigation which acting is.
