After Amal and George Clooney tied the knot in 2014, their lives drastically changed.
The human rights lawyer, 48, opened up at a Cartier Dialogues event in Bangkok, Thailand, earlier this month where she got candid about married life.
The couple share two kids together.
"I used to have my work life and my personal life, and they could look quite different, and I was able to not have them mix and then I got married and that changed quite a lot," Amal said.
"And at first I was kind of conscious of that one-dimensional view where I felt like, well, I can't be seen wearing this dress or doing this because I'm in front of a judge on Monday," she explained.

George and Amal Clooney met in 2013.
The Lebanese-British attorney continued: "But you know it just doesn't matter as much as living your life, and ultimately if you're good at what you do, that is going to shine through or not. I wouldn't allow that factor to stop me from doing things that were important for my family or for my relationship."
"It was easier when I could decide what kind of exposure I got. It was something new to navigate," Amal admitted.

He also admitted he had a talk with Amal over their future, saying: “I had this conversation with Amal when I turned 60. I said, ‘Look, I can still play full-court basketball. I can still run around. I can still do pretty much everything I did when I was 30. But in 30 years, I’m 90. That’s a real number. My dad just hit that. And there are some things you’re not doing no matter how many granola bars you eat.”
"I told Amal, ‘We have to focus on the next 20, 25 years of making sure that we’re jamming in everything we can.’ Not just work, because no one at the end of their life goes, ‘God, I wish I worked more,'" he continued.
The Ocean’s Eleven star was previously married to actress Talia Balsam, from 1989 to 1993. He also had several other high-profile relationships before setting down with Amal, including flings with Cameron Diaz, Renée Zellweger and Lucy Liu.
