[Article] Naomi Watts talks regrets and playing a pregnant Russian stripper on MORE - OCT 2014

Naomi Watts seems to have it all - an A-list acting career, a handsome partner, two beautiful children - but she says there is one thing she'd do differently if she could:

"Have a bigger family. I should have had more kids, started younger," Watts tells the October issue of More magazine.

In the interview, Watts, who turns 46 at the end of the month, also opens up about her fears, being "a bit reckless" and how motherhood has changed her:

On working with Bill Murray for her upcoming film St. Vincent, where she plays a pregnant Russian stripper: I'd bust into Bill's trailer and say (she adopts a thick Russian accent), I need a drink! Gif me a drink! I had to stick with that character because otherwise my fear of being not worthy would take over.

On playing Diana, Princess of Wales: We all know I'm not five ten or have any resembling features of hers except blue eyes, and I don't speak like her. It was going to be hard. People knew her too well or felt like they owned her. I was up against that.

Falling hard for Liev Schreiber and how their parenting styles complement each other: We both wanted the same thing. A family. Liev has a lot more courage than me. He's always saying, Let the kids do it. Take the training wheels off! My bit of fear balances him, and he balances my fear.....

On how motherhood has changed her: I've skydived. I went swimming with sharks that weren't in cages. I went on safari, where you're sitting with lions just five feet from you. And I was photographed (by Condé Nast Traveler) for King Kong standing on a gargoyle near the top of the Chrysler Building in New York City. I had a harness and a rope, but if you fall, you're hanging (61 floors up)! But now that I have kids, I don't want to do so many daredevily things anymore.

On moving to Hollywood at 25 and being a bit reckless: It was a gigantic risk, but thankfully, I was young and naive enough to just do it. As you get older, you overthink and can talk yourself out of anything. It's good to be a bit reckless and experimental.

On being labeled a risk taker: People think of me as this risk taker, but I don't always feel like a person who's full of courage. Maybe in the workplace I have more courage than other areas of my life.
