I like to take a break, but at the same time, I think most actors are not very good at sitting around doing nothing, because we like to work.
Modern women are just bombarded. There's nothing but media telling us we're all supposed to be great cooks, have great style, be great in bed, be the best mothers, speak seven languages, and be able to understand derivatives.
