“Smokin’ hot” Heather Graham, 54, Rings In New Year In Blue Bikini During Snowy Holiday Getaway

“I do feel like as a woman, culturally, you’re not allowed to say, ‘I didn’t want to have kids.’ Because it’s like, what’s wrong with you?” she said, revealing that she often sees her projects as her “little kids.”

“I think we all have different paths,” the actress continued. “You just have to embrace the one that you’re on. If, somehow, I had had kids, I’m sure that would’ve been cool.

“But at the moment, not having kids, I do feel free. And I get a lot of sleep. That is pretty great.”

While not yet retired from Hollywood , Graham previously explained that she’s at a comfortable enough point in her life to see her work as a “secondary” obligation.

“I was super ambitious as a younger person, but my most important goal is to enjoy my life,” she said. “It’s so much more fulfilling than trying so hard to be somewhere in your career.

“Of course, I still am ambitious, but whenever I can really relax and get into a place of gratitude, then I feel like I really can enjoy all the good things in my life, which I have a lot.”
