I wasn't really interested in doing television. I don't have that much ambition. My agent, Eileen Feldman, has all the ambition for me.

My career is every housewife's dream. Someone drives you to work, when you get there they make you look beautiful, they feed you... and they bring you anything you want. And you get to finish sentences, something it's simply not possible to do around three children. I'm so lucky!

That is why it's so fun to make movies... you get to do lots of things you would never do in your normal life.

I limited myself to introduce a change in my way of thinking and the way I see things. When I look at my child, I do it in a different way then when I'm contemplating a chair. They are different... the child is a living being, and the chair is an object.

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

I really enjoy acting. At home I can't even finish a sentence, and here I am reading these wonderful lines. I think it must be every housewife's dream, to be an actress part-time.

I think it is important to say that though, of course, it is wonderful to have children, it is a disservice to others not to also say how hard it is to do it alone.

I paid more attention to the way I looked before my children were born. Afterward, it wasn't important to look exactly right.

I'm the type of person who likes to know exactly how many steps she will have to take and when she should look up.
