Before, I could hug, kiss, and act any romantic role without hesitation. But now, I have a husband who is traditional and children who will someday watch my films. I have a family to protect, and that makes me more intentional about the roles I take. I reject some scripts because I know exactly what I want my loved ones to see and remember me for.
It’s not that I don’t love acting anymore — I still love it with all my heart. But I’ve evolved. I am now a wife and a mother, and my home comes first. So if you’re expecting to see me in those romantic roles like before, you go wait long.
