"I was…well my kids will say I was firm," she said. "But you see, I picked my battles. I wasn't a nagging mother. And you know, that's what it is. I was a fun mom. And Kurt was a perfect balance. Because he was fun too. But he was strong. So they knew where they came from."

The actress reaffirmed their desire to remain together but unmarried

"There's things that we believe in, things that we don't believe in, we agree on. So I think you know ultimately staying independent with independent thinking is important. So you can hold on to yourself, and you're going to actually have that feeling."
