She also said she totally respects anyone who chooses not to have children.

\"I love it when people make that decision because they're being so honest and so much of society doesn't accept the idea that there's just different ways to do things, and if you don't want to be a mom, that's totally fine,\" she said.

The actress also spoke about all of the important factors to consider when thinking about having children, pointing out how important her support system was when she had Ava in 1999.

\"I had sort of an unconventional career so I didn't have to be in an office,\" she began. \"\"When I had my first kid, Ava, my mom didn't live in the same town as me, I don't have any sisters, I really didn't know anyone because I was really young and had just moved to Los Angeles.\"

The actress said she found a group of women whom she \"really depended on\" by joining a yoga group.

\"They have been some of my greatest supporters,\" she said about the women.

\"Beyond money, beyond being ready in your career and your life, it's really about, is your support system good? Is your family structure good?\" she said. \"Have you talked about it with your partner? Have you thought about it logistically? Like, how am I going to make this work?\"

She also encouraged those who want to embrace motherhood to go for it.

\"If you want to be a mom and that's important to you, you should have every right to do that,\" she said. \"Don't put it off because of all the things that seem like a barrier. You're going to figure it out.\"
