Congrats to Angela Bassett for covering this weeks issue of Rolling Out Magazine. She still looks great for her age but I must say in these pictures I don’t see the razzle dazzle. I would have liked to see her in more beautiful gowns than this basic dress. Who am I though sigh! In her interview with Rolling Out she talks about Motherhood, her hottie husband (who I got a chance to meet and interview) and more! Enjoy!
What else attracts you to your husband?
Well, I think his heart is in the right place when it comes to me. And I honestly believe that he sees me and is interested in me, and not just what I do. Because I’m not always acting. Sometimes I have to let my guard down and be vulnerable. He sees that and still accepts me.
I just shot a pilot for a show called “Identity” and the premise is that inside of each of us, there is more than one of us. So you might look at me and see this face and it looks like I’m happy, but moments before I arrived here, I could have been at home crying my eyes out. All of that is to say that I have different moments where I could be experiencing indecision, doubt or whatever, but through it all he still accepts and loves me.
Let’s talk about motherhood. We’ve talked about the bond between husband and wife, but describe the bond between you and your children.
I feel like a lioness. I was up with them this morning, and they asked me to sit in between them. So I sat in the middle and they buried their heads into me, and we just had such a special moment. I’m the one they do that with … now, they could do it with their dad, but he’s more of the disciplinarian. So I just enjoy those moments. I really try my best to encourage them to love each other and be there for each other. And I just pray that they take the lessons that we try to instill in them, and just try to be better people. I always tell them to leave places better than how they found them. That’s what I try to do in my own life, and that’s the one thing that I hope they always strive to do … I want them to leave this world better than they found it.
