The 41-year-old actress says her whole entire life has shifted since she became a mother to her young kids and is now more careful about what projects she takes on and how long she's away from them for, reported OK! magazine.
"My priorities have changed. I have kids now and nothing comes before that. I love that my children dictate my life now. I'm like a soldier being told which way to walk. It's great.
"I do press work around their schedule, and don't do anything for more than six or seven days, so I can come home. But when you work on a film, it's different. We have to pack up and find schools and stay together as a family," Theron says.
