Liv Tyler Opens Up About Motherhood + Her Own Childhood
Liv Tyler and her son, Milo, grace the cover of Cookie's June/July issue and inside the actress opens up about her tumultuous childhood in the spotlight (her father is Aerosmith's Steven Tyler) and balancing her career with motherhood. Here's a sneak peek at some of the interview:
• On wanting to raise her son in the country… “I’d love for him to have pets and chickens to take care of. And I want to give him all the tools to be the best man he can be. For me, so much of that has to do with being in nature and really using your hands when you’re a kid.”
• On her own unsteady childhood… “I’m still working through my issues, which I always will be.”
• On having a new perspective on parenting… “I had the ideas we all had as teenagers, of Well, I’m gonna do it this way. Then suddenly you’re living it, and you have a lot more empathy for every other parent in the world.”
• On whether motherhood has made her pickier about the film projects she chooses… “Whenever I hear actors say that, I think, Wow, they must really be in demand! I’m still trying to figure it all out. [Modeling and acting] are what I’ve done since I was 14, so it’s not like I have another option. But the balance can be hard for me, because for my whole life, my dream was to be a mother.”
• On her family’s lifestyle… “[I try] to embrace that we live like gypsies a little bit. We go somewhere for three months at a time, and we make friends and get to see a whole new place. It’s very special in a way…”
• On believing that being with her son Milo gives him stability despite moving around often… “My philosophy is that we’re the ones who go to him at night and when he wakes up in the morning and those are the most important moments in a young child’s life.”
• On her mother’s role growing up… “My mom was around, but she was young and struggling.”
