As a teenager, I was perpetually grounded. I was stubborn rather than rebellious.
Actors are always nervous about not only hurting each other, but maybe perhaps hitting each other's face and ending one's career.
I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn't aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago.
For me, breastfeeding was even more painful than giving birth. And despite a lactation consultant, I felt incompetent. I forged on, barely sleeping, always either breastfeeding or pumping and never getting the hang of it.
I want to be a good example for my son. That's the best way to parent - to be the example of what you want to see in them. That's definitely how my parents parented and how my grandparents parented. And it works.
I've admired Anthony Hopkins for so long, and when I finally got to meet him in person, I became totally immobile and speechless! I stood there looking at him and couldn't say a word.

Do I wish I had never endured postpartum depression? Absolutely. But to deny the experience is to deny who I am.
When I started working, I just had my name be 'Bryce Dallas.'
