“I think you always feel a little bit of guilt … If you’re at work, you feel like you’re missing out on those special moments with your kid. If you’re with your kid, you feel like you’re not giving enough to your job. It’s a balance.”
She added: “I have a lot of huge admiration for working moms. I’m barely, barely holding it together.”
The actress gushed about her mother’s impact on her, telling ET that she “couldn’t imagine a better date tonight.”
“I really couldn’t think of anybody else that I’d rather [have] with me here tonight,” she said of her mother. “[She’s] been incredibly inspiring for me in many, many ways, but certainly as a young girl.”
She spoke of her parents’ relationship, and how they struggled to maintain romance while raising Johansson and her siblings.
“My parents had started a weekly date night habit of going to the theater and dining at Joe Allen,” the actress said.
“A night out on the town was a rare luxury for my parents, who were probably trying to connect with one another and themselves, no small feat for parents of four living in NYC.”
