Gretchen Mol Can't Imagine Putting Her Career Ahead of Motherhood

Gretchen Mol isn't sure that she'll be able to return to making movies after the birth of her first child in September. The star is expecting director Todd Williams' child in a little and says she can't ever imagine putting her acting career over motherhood.

Moll says, "It's been hard not to work during this time but it's hard to say, 'Hire me,' too because my instinct is, 'I will find things where you can get a taste of it and keep your feet in the water without having to give up a huge amount of time.'

"If I had to be on the set for 16 hours, being a mother, I would feel like I was wasting time. Maybe a theatre role would work because your life is very structured. I can see myself trying to do that."

Moll says she struggled with her pregnancy at first, but is now excited to become a first-time mum.

She says, "I moved back to New York from Los Angeles to be closer to my family and it's just great to be back here. I love it. I've had a great summer. I've been relaxing so it sort of puts things in priority, a different order, and I think it's been really great. I'm looking forward to it."
