The Blue Jasmine star opened up about balancing work and motherhood with Times Online back in March 2010. "All I can think about is what I've gained," she said at the time. "I've had to say no to things because I was pregnant, but then I had a baby, so it didn't seem like a sacrifice. I'm quite fatalistic — if something doesn't happen, then something else will."
