The 42-year-old actress has carved out a successful career in Hollywood since starting out in show business as a child and has even won an Academy Award but does not feel that as a woman she is able to fully immerse herself within character by actually living as them because of the other duties she is expected to fulfill within life as a wife and a mother.

She told The WSJ, “I’ve gotten very into roles, but I think it’s honestly a luxury that women can’t afford. I don’t think that children or partners would be very understanding of, you know, me making everyone call me ‘Jackie Kennedy’ all the time.”

The ‘Black Swan’ star added that no matter the class status of a woman, all females are “united” by the notion that they are perpetually “limited” by society when it comes to their destiny and how they can fulfil it, noting that every story about a woman is about her trying to “break free” of that convention.
