Motherhood has affected her craft in a big way, too, with Hewitt explaining, "It's been a beautiful gift as an actor. It's a much more accessible thing for me now in a way that I didn't know was possible." The 9-1-1 star also emphasized the importance of returning to work, advising she wanted to set a good example for her children. 

She might miss them like crazy while on set but Hewitt told Us Weekly in another interview, "My daughter thinks that work is the coolest thing she's ever seen. She loves the craft service truck. My son got to run around the lot, like, go into 'New York,' go up and down the stairs and take a picture in front of the police station, which he thought was super cool." In fact, they don't seem to mind her working at all, with Hewitt admitting, "It's just me who's a sap in my trailer, like, 'Why can't I see my babies?'" 

The kids also have their opinions about her projects, as Hewitt revealed to People, "Somebody at my daughter's school said she watched Garfield and Garfield 2... [My daughter] watched the whole movie, said nothing and at the very end she was like, 'You were very good, Mommy.'"
