However, despite the intense reality we are all living through right now, Mendes isn't losing sight of what's important. "When we feel like we're just 'in it,' like all parents do during these times," she says, "we remind ourselves that these are the good times, because we're all together and we're all safe right now." The actress took a step back from her career back in 2014, to focus on raising her young family, however, in the interview, Mendes hinted at plans for a possible return to acting. "I feel like, as far as my ambition, it didn't go away, it just shifted onto the children," she said. "I applaud and look up to those women who can do it all, but I'm not one of them – and, thankfully, I have a choice not to work and I realize how fortunate I am that it's even a choice. I've been so happy to be able to incubate with my babies, but now they are four and six, I'm starting to feel like my ambition is coming back."
