Allen reveals what made her choose her kids over her stardom

"Some people choose their career over their children, and that's their prerogative. But my parents were quite absent when I was a kid, and I feel like that really left some nasty scars that I am not willing to, you know, repeat on mine."

She added, "So I chose stepping back and concentrating on them and I am glad that I have done that because I think they are pretty well-rounded people."
