Kate Hudson feels proud to have put her family before her career.
The 46-year-old actress admits that she's always prioritised her children - Ryder, 21, Bingham, 13, and Rani, seven - even though it's hurt her career at times.
The Hollywood star told Variety: "There are sacrifices I’ve made along the way to be at home, a lot of opportunities I had to say no to, which came as an easy no.
"But as Rani started to get older, it was time to start making career decisions that I felt like I could make. And I got really lucky that I could make them not based on money."
Kate thinks she's evolved markedly over the last 20 years, and she's now more willing to take risks in her professional life.
She said: "The person I was in my 20s is very different than the person I am in my 40s, and the person I am now in my 40s is very different than the person I’ll be in my 60s.
"I just hope I get to keep making movies and telling stories and writing music and being a part of what I see as the great connector."
Meanwhile, Kate previously revealed that she experienced a "breakthrough" when she decided to stop dating.
The actress stopped dating for 12 months, in a bid to break a pattern of bad relationships, and Kate confessed that it proved to be a turning point in her life.
The blonde beauty - who is currently engaged to Danny Fujikawa - said on the Call Her Daddy podcast: "I had this one sort of breakthrough that was very emotional that I don't think I would have been able to access if I had any distractions.
"It allowed me to see things much more clearly and then within six months, I didn't care about my phone. I didn't care if I was going out with my girlfriend, like, I wonder if so and so is going to be there, or like, we should call up so and so and then do that.
"There was no desire for me to be doing anything that had anything to do with potential flirtation."
