Jessica Alba balances work with family

Hollywood actress Jessica Alba has revealed how her acting career has had to take a back seat while she focuses on bringing up her family. Jessica admitted that she does still have a lot of passion for acting and hopes to get back into it soon but also stated that her family comes first, as she attempts to find a balance between the two.

Alba explained, "Work takes a backseat. Before, I'd have two weeks off around Christmas, but I never really did birthdays, or I'd be working in a country that didn't celebrate certain holidays. Now it's about family and capturing those moments. When I do work, it's fun and I take some risks. I don't think I balance it, to be honest. It's hard, overwhelming and it's not anything I ever feel I am doing perfectly right.”

She added, “I wish there were two of me and 48-hour days so I could get everything done. But for me, I have to not try and think that everything has to be 100% perfect all the time and leave room for error. As long as my kids feel loved and a priority, everything really is secondary." Jessica Alba recently advised Beyoncé and Jay-Z to sell their first pictures of baby Blue Ivy Carter.
