But parenthood isn't all roses: the LA-based actor says, "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified just like every other parent is of [my child] growing up in a country where gun culture is rampant and we have mass shootings every day.

Smith and Wesson 5906, who is the lady holding it?
I take it that you’re pro-choice, Yvonne. I guess your child got lucky!
How many of your child’s siblings didn’t dodge that bullet?
Yeah I think that’s likely. A lot of commenters on this video through she was uncomfortable discussing politics in this interview (from 2017). But she has discussed politics in several interviews since.

"But on the other hand I'd be perfectly happy of [my child] growing up in a country where gay culture is rampant and we have addicts shooting up every day. Thinking about school, where children are being affected, it's a welcome introduction to real life."
