Having kids changes Zeta-Jones priorities

Catherine Zeta-Jones admits that her priorities in life have undergone a sea change ever since shes had her kids.

Melbourne, July 26 : Catherine Zeta-Jones admits that her priorities in life have undergone a sea change ever since she's had her kids.

The Oscar winner has two kids - a son Dylan and a daughter Carys - with hubby Michael Douglas, and insists that they, not work are her life.

"I hate to say "balance" when it comes to my children because at the end of the day that is my life and everything else is a bonus," Moviehole.net quoted her, as saying.

"What's changed for me considerably for me since I've had my family is that the logistics have completely gone crazy as opposed to me being offered a role in Romania for four months, I used to say, what time is my flight" I'll pack my case and I'm gone. Now I can't do that and I try to schedule my work in between times when they can either come with me or when Michael is definitely not working and he can be with them," she says.

As for moving to Bermuda and bringing up their kids there, Zeta-Jones insists that it was one of the best decisions that she and Douglas took, for her kids are not growing up being hounded by the paparazzi wherever they go.

"I must say there's a real sense of privacy in Bermuda. It's been very great bringing up the children, taking them to school without a hassle. There are no photographers hanging around, so for me it was the ideal choice to bring up my children," she says.

"And it's easy to go to New York, we travel, we don't stay there the whole year 'round, so it's been fantastic," she adds.

Zeta-Jones will now be seen on the big screen opposite Aaron Eckhardt in the romantic comedy 'No Reservations'.
