Kate Walsh Doubted If She Was Less Because She Couldn't Become A Mother

Walsh noted that women are interested in children as well as career. They want to "have it all." She said it is a huge pressure not having both together in life. She said that she doubted if she was anything less if she is unable to become a mother.     

"I don't know if you can actually have it all. I think that is actually this American myth. I wouldn't call it a dream," said the actress. "I think it's a bit of a myth in that it's this huge pressure. We're like, 'Wait a minute, am I less than if I'm not a mother? If I'm not a rock star in my career?' I don't know. I'm just rambling. This is what I ponder," she added, reported Perez Hilton.
