Anna Faris Talks Marriage and Motherhood

Anna Faris recently sat down for an interview with the Huffington Post, where she talked about marriage and motherhood. She is quoted as follows:

On motherhood:

"Everything that everyone says is true. People really need to pound the information into you because it is a tidal wave change into your life. Especially as a woman, your identity changes. You are now a mom, sort of the most important job in the world, and the pressure and the guilt and all the things that are sort of wrapped up in that, I don't think anyone can prepare you for...We want Jack to have as normal of a childhood or at least a similar childhood as we had. The other day I was picking him up from his pre-school and there was some paparazzi—that doesn't happen very often, when Chris is around and in town it's different—but Jack waved at them and said, ‘Cheese!'...There's going to be a day, sooner rather than later, where he's going to understand that it's bizarre and probably going to have a lot of really complicated emotions about it. So we're just going to try to give him a ton of love."

On marriage to Chris Pratt:

"He is sexy, but more importantly he's a great person. When I was falling in love with him, I loved how kind he was to people. I loved how smart he is, but he's not pretentious at all. He doesn't wear that as a badge—he kind of lets people slowly discover it. He's humble, and he's a great leader, and he's an incredible father and a great husband. And I feel like, after years of dating people that weren't the best for me, I found somebody who's love I could really accept."
