LOS ANGELES: Hollywood star Anne Hathaway has spoken about how she feels "very defeated" by the concept of balance.
During her conversation with Harper's Bazaar, Hathaway, who's a mom to sons Jack and Jonathan, told the outlet that before she became a mom, there was a "really uncompromising and uninterrupted" focus, but with kids, there are more ebbs and flows that make balancing things out a little harder, reports people.com.
She said: "Before, there was this focus that was really uncompromising and uninterrupted. And I just can’t tell you anymore what life is like without kids, but kids interrupt you all the time.”
"My friends and I talk about it a lot, and we actually feel very defeated by the concept of balance, ” she said.
“If the weight shifts in one direction, you then have to bounce it up on the other side, and we find that it winds us up as opposed to making us steady.”
Instead of seeking balance, the actress said she and her friends aim for a more forgiving concept.
