Lisa Kudrow on motherhood, parenting: ‘Nothing else is going to be as important’

Motherhood provided Lisa Kudrow with a deep sense of love and empathy, all in an instant. The change was so rapid that the Friends alum was taken aback with the sheer changes she felt swirling in her mind.

Lisa spilled the beans about her experiences during an interview with Candis magazine and admitted how “When I became a mother, everything changed. The instant my son arrived, I thought, 'OH, OK, now I get it. Nothing else is ever going to be as important as this.’”

The actress also admitted that she can no longer watch any show that showcases violence towards children. “One thing that's kind of sad is that a lot of things that I had found funny before just stopped being funny to me then, and there were a lot of things on TV and in the movies that I couldn't watch anymore.”

So much so that "Any sort of doctor shows with kids ending up in the emergency room, anything that involved children getting hurt. Before, I'd been able to see movies such as 'Sophie's Choice' and 'Schindler's List' - I couldn't even begin to watch them now. I guess I got sensitive!"
