I was trying to question things in life so you find these characters that help you find things and grow."Now, she adds, "I'm older and I know who I am and I'm less interested in the character helping me answer something than in being able to answer it for myself.She has no plans to retire in the near future, she admits: "I don't love as much as I did. I love being a mom."She and her longtime love Brad Pitt have six children together -- Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne -- and the family is famous for their nomadic lifestyle.

Naomi Watts hot and sexy photo gallery

Naomi Watts was born on 28th September 1968 in Shoreham, England,the young Watts suffered the trauma of losing her father when she was only seven years old. Four years later, she relocated to Australia with her mom and began to study acting. Eventually, she began going on auditions - it was at one where she would meet her best friend Nicole Kidman - and landed her first film role in "For Love Alone" (1986).Cast as a snobby schoolgirl, the teen actress made an impression and her career was born. Watts went on to co-star with Oscar winner Brenda Fricker, Josephine Byrnes, Kym Wilson and a young Russell Crowe in the Australian miniseries "Brides of Christ" (1991). Duigan tapped her once again when he cast her in a supporting role in "Wide Sargasso Sea" (1992).Then came along a strange, brilliant man named David Lynch. Watts was next cast in what was hoped would be her breakthrough, an ABC TV series called "Mulholland Drive," created by and directed by Lynch. Although the network passed on the quirky drama, Lynch was able to shoot additional material and create a strange, trippy picture that painted a dark picture of the dream factory of Hollywood.Also that year, she delivered a strong performance in "Mother and Child" (2010), playing a woman whose mother (Annette Bening) gave her up for adoption as a baby, leading her to lead a successful, but lonely life that nonetheless remains inexorably entwined with that of her mother's. Watts' heartbreaking performance earned her a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Independent Spirit Awards.

Supermodel of the week...you're never gonna guess who I saw yesterday...

So I've done Supermodel of the Week postings for a while now. You might remember that a little while ago I did a posting on Ms. Juliana Imai, right?WELL I SAW HER YESTERDAY! I was in the city yesterday, and there she was standing on the corner of West Broadway and Spring Street a foot away from me! I said, "Oi Juliana", and she replied with a "Tudo bom?" and a few more words were exchanged before she continued down West Broadway and I made my way down Spring. It was kind of surreal. I should have given her my number, damn it!

Anyway, that was really cool! My first meet and greet with a Japanese-Brazilian model! Awesome!(PS: Gina, this is true and I'm not just saying this because you saw my favorie Ana Beatriz one day in the glasses store, but I am still jealous!)
