In an interview withEsquirepublished on Aug. 14, the actress said, “For a long time, I felt like there was something wrong with me. I was waiting for this light to go off in my head, and it never did.”

“When you’re younger, you’re like, ‘Well, I can’t have kids. I’m too young! It’d be crazy,’ " Zoë continued. “I had to actually look at, ‘What do I want?’ "

The Batmanstar said she realized during her first marriage to actor Karl Glusman that she didn’t plan on having kids. “For a lot of people that have children, it is this giant, life-changing event — and I do think there is a certain amount of focus and respect that they should get from their community,” she toldEsquire, noting that she wishes that other milestones were treated similarly.

“There’s a lot of pressure on women to have children, and there’s a feeling that if you don’t, you don’t have a purpose here,” she added. “But this movie [Blink Twice], it feels like I gave birth.”
