Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. There is no transition into being a woman you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.
The term 'serious actor' is kind of an oxymoron isn't it? Like 'Republican party' or 'airplane food.'
