Marcia Cross Is Nothing Like Bree Hodge

Marcia Cross sat down to talk a little bit about the success of Desperate Housewives, her character on the show and how being a mom in real life has affected her.
On how she is nothing like Bree:

“I am not at all domestically inclined. I wish I were. I’m not close to Bree at all. We have a live-in woman from Brazil, who is a godsend. She is the real Bree Van De Kamp, which is funny because she doesn’t watch any TV. I once read some of my lines with her. She laughed so hard, saying, ‘This is your character?’”

On how being a mom has changed her perspective:

“It just blasts your heart wide open. You can’t look at another person without thinking that he was once a baby and that he had a mother. You become scared of wars. Everything you ever thought you had is sort of affected by it.
I also know something about psychology now. Babies don’t really have object constancy. This means when you leave, they don’t know when you’re coming back. I’m not going to be out gallivanting much.”

On juggling work and private life.

“If I work a couple of long days… I have the girls come to the set. Though I can’t really be with them, I can at least change a diaper or play with them for a minute and then run back out. But almost the whole of last month, they didn’t need to come at all. I had whole days of just going to the park with them. They’re so cute. They’re just… thriving. I’m madly in love with them.”

I LOVE Desperate Housewives and I love Bree on it.She is so hilarious!Who’s your favorite character on the show?
