Bryce Dallas Howard

I'm obsessed with my parents. ”

As a teenager, I was perpetually grounded. I was stubborn rather than rebellious. ”

I've always been, with acting, very hesitant to get myself into situations where I would be accused of nepotism. ”

I don't have any friends who are actors through my dad. ”

What I do is not go outside. My hobby is that I write, so if I'm not acting or being a mom, I'm writing. ”

My friends knew I was obsessed with these 'Twilight' boys because I love a dangerous love story. ”

My mum told me, 'At that moment when you know you can't do both, the marriage and the kids, choose the marriage because you're going to be spending your whole lives together, so you have to put a lot of work and attention into the relationship.' ”

You meet your soulmate, and you're like, 'Well, this is it. This is the feeling of falling in love, and it's the most intense it can ever be.' Then you have a child, and it's like - it's huge! ”

I didn't always want to act. My passion was writing, and it still is one of my primary passions to this day, but it wasn't until high school when I started acting in plays that it became a thought of something I might want to do. And when I applied to colleges, at NYU, I was able to study both writing and acting. ”

Do I wish I had never endured postpartum depression? Absolutely. But to deny the experience is to deny who I am. ”
