"Every single day, I second-guess myself as a mother," Naomi tells Blackbook. "I chose to be a mom. It's something I've always wanted, but I feel torn between two worlds.

It's frustrating because I feel like I'm failing a bit on both ends."

In her new film Mother and Child, Naomi worked up the courage to do a full-frontal nudity scene just after giving birth to her and Liev Schreiber's second son.

"I would love to have an endless brood of children," she says. "I grew up in chaos. I feel comfortable in chaos. Whether or not I'll ever adopt remains to be seen, but I totally believe in adoption."
