'Hunger Games' star Elizabeth Banks admits it is hard to manage acting career, marriage and family around her.
The 40-year-old actress said working fathers do not undergo such pressure to balance everything around them, reported E!Online.
"I balance it by always putting my children's health and safety first. Then I feel OK to go and do the job I love. It's important to remember that I face the same challenges as many other working parents out there.
"I don't think dads do it as well as moms, quite frankly, as I don't think there's any pressure on them to balance anything in their lives when it comes to parents being at work. I try not to feel that pressure, either," she said.
Banks is also no longer concerned about her beauty and credits her genes for it.
"I didn't quite believe I was pretty for a long time. I never thought about it. I'm very genetically blessed, I cannot deny it. But I work hard at keeping myself together. Yes, I have nice cheekbones and skinny legs but I can't take any credit for it.
