In 2021, the Oscar-winning actress shared similar sentiments with CBS Sunday Morning. "I'm very tough with technology, for example with my kids, we can watch movies sometimes, or some cartoons. How can I not let them watch movies if that has been some incredible moments of [my] happiness since I was a little girl? But not phones until they are much older and no social media until at least 16. I really see that as protecting mental health. But I seem to be part of a minority," she suggested.
