Speaking about motherhood in the past, Katherine credits it for giving her a new ‘perspective’ on life.

She said: “It’s been a huge blessing - it gave me perspective. Before them, it was all about my goals as an actor. They helped me to take a step back and go, OK, I have some important work to do on this earth.”
