The 44-year-old, who has two sons, Alexander, six, and Samuel, five, with her long-term partner Liev Schreiber, insists she doesn't feel pressurised to land the best role in a film because she's happy to take a back seat and enjoy more time with her family, reported Contactmusic.
"I still feel very ambitious and you always want to find the next great project. But it's a very different feeling now than when I was struggling to get parts.

"I was dreading the reaction among the public to my playing her. You know that people will complain that you don't look enough like her, that you're not tall enough, all those things.
"It's very difficult to play someone who had such a deep impact and left such a lasting memory on the public. It's also more complicated and sensitive when you take into account her two boys. But I want to do her justice and help her story truthfully," she added.
