She compared it to becoming more emotionally raw and open.

 Similar thoughts were expressed by Robert Pattinson, who in 2023 welcomed a daughter with singer Suki Waterhouse.  He revealed that he experienced an unanticipated boost of inspiration and enthusiasm after becoming a father.  Although he acknowledged that it was hard to express the emotional impact, he characterised the change as instantaneous and significant.  He claimed that with the birth of his daughter, his approach to acting has been more focused and passionate.
