But having the ability to have children made it all worthwhile for the actress. "You think about howbeautiful it is that you’re able to make children," she said. "When Ilose sight of that, I exercise, read Dr. Seuss’s Oh, The Places You’ll Go!, and spend time with my kids. Then Istart to see things that are bigger than myself."
