I think that's the best way to see things, especially this kind of play where there's no pyrotechnics, it's literally just people talking.

Gretchen MolI'm pretty low-maintenance, but I like my time to myself, and once you have a child, you have to fight for it.

You get to put your energy out, as opposed to worrying all the time about your own stuff. It's such a relief, but when you think about it, it's like an extension of you. It's like a safer way; you feel less indulgent about it, but they are extensions of yourself, and I think you're freer to love them so unconditionally. That, we're not able to do with our own selves.
