"With the breast-feeding, I really love the bonding. Real life is more important to me"
About this Quote
“Real life is more important to me” does a second job. On the surface, it’s a value statement about family; under it sits a quiet rebuke of the entertainment machine that treats women’s bodies as content and their private choices as marketable controversy. The subtext is that maternity, for her, isn’t another role to play. It’s a line drawn between being seen and being present.
Context matters: celebrity culture has long swung between fetishizing breast-feeding as earthy authenticity and policing it as inappropriate. Mazar cuts through that double bind by framing it as relational rather than ideological. She’s not auditioning for the “perfect mom” slot; she’s insisting that the unglamorous, repetitive closeness of caregiving outranks whatever headline-ready identity the industry might prefer.
