"Not only do they go into every decision of if I'm working, where I'm working, when I'm working — they've taught me," she said. "I mean, I didn't know that I could feel so much, and my job has a lot to do with emotions, and they've opened up the world to me," added theOscar winner. "It's almost like feeling like a blister or something, so sensitive." She continued of her two kids, "They've changed my life, obviously, for the best, and they've changed me creatively. I highly recommend having kids, if you want to be an actor." Pattinson, for his part, teased that his view on the matter was "impossible for a guy to answer correctly." "It's literally just like what Jennifer said. I'm here just to support," he continued. "Ever since she was born, it's reinvigorated the way I approach work, and yeah, you're a completely different person the next day."
