The actress continued, “Some people think, like in my family, you talk to a priest and that’s it.” (via The Hollywood Reporter). “I don’t really feel comfortable talking to him about my feelings.” She added: “I didn’t grow up in an environment where you talked about this stuff, and it was just like shut it down and keep it moving. So I find a lot of inspiration just in talking to my kids.”

However, Honor, who will soon be a pre-teen, seems to think a little differently. “She goes, ‘but I love drama,’” shared the No Activity actress mimicking her daughter. Jessica added: “It’s so messed up. I’m just not emotionally ready for a pretween or a tween. Like hormones and questions.”
