Reese Witherspoon
"It's really difficult. It's hard with small children. I do feel
torn, it's agony. Any mother or father will know it's so hard to deal
with the guilt of leaving your kids. I'm about to start a movie; I'm
nervous. I'm trying to work close to home so my kids can stay in
school and we can have a nice, stable life and don't have to miss
school and things. I think it's important to support your children's
dreams, whatever they're interested in. I don't know if my children
will be actors. They're not interested at all. My daughter wants to
be a scientist and my son wants to be a pizza delivery guy. Okay,
whatever [they] want to do. I have a pretty regular life. I wake up
the children at six in the morning, get them dressed and get them to
school. Children are the great
equalizer: It doesn't matter how great you think you are, you're just
a mom. It's wonderful; it's really inspiring to me. I love what I
do, but it also helps me to not do work I don't feel inspired to do
because I'd rather be with my children if I can"
