Speaker 0: Do you think children watch too much Tv ? Speaker 1: I only allow my child to watch up to an hour a day . I don ’ t think that tv is bad for kids . I think that kids should be active and not become couch potatoes . Speaker 0: Perhaps I should impose a limit on how much Tv my kids can watch . They don ’ t do much else in their free time . At least they always do their homework first . Speaker 1: If you decide to put a limit on the amount of tv they can watch , remember to have something else for them to do . If you don ’ t , they ’ ll get bored and misbehave . Speaker 0: | They could go out and play with their friends . |

Speaker 0: Then the standard that you set yourself originally must have changed . Speaker 1: Well , if that's the case , I don't mind breaking the image that they might have or the standards that they have . I can only do what I know , and live how I've lived all my life , because I'm a fairly stubborn person . Speaker 0: It seems to me that now you're famous . You've got to go out and be seen at the right places and go to the right parties . Speaker 1: I don't go to parties . The parties I go to are the barbecues I have in my house . Being seen in the right places is something that I don't believe in . I don't believe in going to events just for the sake I of being seen . Speaker 0: Then fans don't see you much in public places . Speaker 1: Yes . I have a very low-key life ; I have a great life . I love what I do and I love how I spend my time , which isn't in a public place . Speaker 0: | A lot of people compare you to Julia Roberts . I wondered if there was anyone that you compare yourself to in Hollywood , that you've watched and thought , ' Well , they've got something I could use a little bit or could learn a little bit about .

Speaker 0: Now that you'recommending such enormous fees , producers , directors , movie-makers must see you in a completely different light . Speaker 1: Yeah . Speaker 0: Then the standard that you set yourself originally must have changed .

' Speaker 1: | I've never had one person that I'd idolized . The comparisons to Jul-ia Roberts are incredibly flattering . I don't really know who I would compare myself to . I'd like to be a combination of a lot of people . A little bit of everything , really . I haven't quite figured out where my strengths are yet , and I've definitely found my weaknesses . |
