Nicole Kidman planned to retire from acting when she got pregnant.
The Big Little Lies star - who has adopted kids Isabella, 27, and Connor, 24, with ex-husband Tom Cruise and daughters Sunday, 11 and Faith, nine, with spouse Keith Urban - was ready to "give everything up" and focuson her family over a decade ago, but she's thankful she listened to her mother's advice not to make any rash decisions.
She said: "I'm glad that when I got pregnant with Sunny, I didn't give everything up. "Because I was like, 'That's it, I'm done now.'
"My mom actually said, 'Don't do that. Just keep a little toe in the water."
The 52-year-old actress is happy with her decision but wishes she had "more time" so she could give her family the attention she needs while also being able to take on all the creative projects that interest her.
She told Heat magazine: "I do wish I had more time. "I have two little girls and I have a husband who I am deeply in love with - a cool guy and a good man - and we have a very strong family unit that requires an enormous amount of time.
