So all their family and all their friends and their nucleus of people knew that I was a very hands-on mom and that all of this circus around me was the non-real part. And I tried to keep them away from it, but... Brandon would be pitching a baseball game and he would throw his glove down and look at the paparazzi and say, I'm trying to pitch a game here, boys. Can you leave me alone?

The kids would get really upset. So we got through it. I wouldn't say unscathed. It took its toll, but they really understood our life and they understood their father, understood me and understood what was going on. I always thought age appropriate. I should sit them down and talk to them, but of course they hear things through friends and through school, and that was hard.

But definitely something to draw from for the film, too. My kind of very unique, close relationship to my boys who know their mom's full of, you know, flaws. I actually ad-libbed that conversation on the phone in the movie where I say, "'Mothers aren't saints, that we are just doing the best we can with the tools we've been dealt.'"

And I think about that when I think about my own mother and the things that she went through. And sometimes we expect a lot of our parents. But we're human beings and we get through it the best way we can. And if there's love there, that's the most important part.

At the table read. The first day I met her, she had just gotten a spray tan and she was actually changing colors before my eyes. Her tan was intensifying and her lips were getting quieter.

A multiple spray tan over spray tan over spray tan. And I told her, I said, I'm so sorry, I'm nervous. And she goes, oh, come on, you can't be nervous with me. And then she grabbed me by the shoulders and she looked me in the eye and she said, I did this for you. We're in this together. And I just got chills from head to toe.

Any fear went out the window and I felt like I've known her my whole life and I still do. And she's just really an incredible champion for women. And I... She hadn't seen the documentary. She said she was happy she didn't. She saw it after. But she didn't know much about me. She'd seen me and she knew. She said that I was capable of much more than I'd been doing. And she's been there.

She's been in different parts of her career and just kind of aching to do more. And so I didn't realize that I'd ever get the chance. So that's why this is so sweet and so precious because it almost didn't make it to me. And then I almost didn't get to do it. And I was happy with... I thought, okay, from Baywatch to Broadway, that has a good ring to it.
