Heather Graham, the star of “Austin Powers”, revealed in an interview with The Guardian that most of the time she feels happy not having children. She also commented on women’s desire to do what they want.
Heather Graham, 55, told The Guardian in an interview published on Monday (28) about her decision not to become a mother. The “Boogie Nights” star took the opportunity to talk about women’s desires.
“We need to appreciate the life we have,” said the actress, who confessed to wondering many times what her life would be like if she had chosen to have a child.
“I would say 80% of the time I feel happy I didn’t have kids, I feel free and really good about it, and maybe 20% of the time I wonder what it would have been like,” Heather Graham revealed.
She commented on society’s progress in discussing motherhood.
“I think it’s amazing that more women today are expressing the desire not to have kids,” she noted.
“Culture says: ‘You need to have children.’ But why? If you’re not trying to please others, what do you really want?” she asked.
After the release of “Chosen Family”, written, directed and starring Heather Graham, she revealed that she used to be “a person who wanted to please others” but that her mindset changed in her 40s.
“I realized that I can actually just ask myself: ‘What do I want?’ and make myself happy,” the actress confessed.
