“My whole universe revolves around my children, and the hours keep me away from them too much. I’m not willing to do that... Any acting roles will be few and far between until my kids are older... And by then, who knows what I’ll want to do? By no means am I abandoning acting. Nor am I pretending that I don’t love acting. But I cannot do it right now, with my children,” she said.
