"I love the idea of babies and lots of friends have them, but my life right now is so incredible and exciting that I don’t feel there’s anything missing. My girlfriends say that I’ll know when it’s time because I’ll wake up one morning and, bam, I’ll be broody. But it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe I’m being naive, but I feel I’ve got a bit of time; I’m happy to have babies in my early 40s.’

Well, with her aged to 40, she frequently encounters with the personal question about her plans for motherhood. She also stated that someone said her that career is a career but there should be time for family too.
