Anyone that’s been pregnant knows your first trimester can be pretty rough and you’re nauseous all day long. So I spent the whole shoot basically [being nauseous], the producers would come see me in the morning in the makeup trailer and I would be clinging to a box of saltines and we had, we kept pickles in the refrigerator for me and I was just constantly on the verge of vomiting.

“I’m trying to remember when I felt like this before. Like an elephant is sitting on my chest, like my throat is so tight and constricted that I can feel its tendons, like my eyes are 100 percent water, spilling out at will, down pathways on my face that have been dry for as long as I can think of.

“The death of my mother was one time, but her passing was prolonged enough to let me prepare for it, to the extent anyone can … Today is my son Matthew’s last night home before college … Through the grief I feel a rising embarrassment. “Jesus Christ, pull yourself together, man!” I tell myself.

>> Angelina Jolie told Elle magazine: “I never thought I’d have children, I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you don’t look for them.
