The interview covers why she loves starring in holiday-themed
movies (she’s done 15 of them since Moonlight & Mistletoe in
2008), her memories of playing D.J. Tanner as a preteen on Full
House and the loss of co-star Bob Saget, her experience as a child
actress in Hollywood, and the vital importance of her family and
faith.
Read the full interview here. Notable quotes are below.
On booking her first Christmas film, Moonlight &
Mistletoe: It was actually my first movie after taking a
10-year break, because I decided to stay home and raise my kids.
But if you would have asked me about this many years ago, I would
not have thought I would become synonymous with Christmas movies—or
that the genre would be as big as it is today.
On coming back after taking a break from Hollywood: I
didn't know if the entertainment community even wanted me back.
People see you as a kid, and then you come back 10 years later, and
you're a full-grown woman and a mom, and sometimes they're very
embracing of you, and sometimes they're like, “You had your time.”
I was so happy that Hollywood truly opened the doors. People would
tell me, “Oh yeah, you were our big sister growing up. We want you
to still be a part of the family.”
On her Full House experience, amid recent revelations about
toxicity and abuse on the sets of children’s TV programs in the
1990s to the 2000s: I absolutely loved it, especially in light
of stories that have come out more recently. There are a handful of
child stars or young entertainers that didn't get through the
business successfully with their emotional health and have really
awful predator experiences. So, when I look back on it, I’m
grateful.
On her daughter, Natasha, getting into the business: I've
always been an encourager—whatever my children are interested in, I
want to help them pursue that to the best of their ability. So I
was all for it, and I told her I was going to be Mama Bear. Like,
I’m going to protect you and be right by your side and help you
make the right decisions and make sure nobody takes advantage of
you.
On missing Bob Saget: I think about Bob a lot—probably
even more often than I thought I would. That’s because almost
anything funny makes me think of him and laughter is such a huge
part of my life, and Bob was a huge source of laughter in my
life.
On aging: I have loved every decade more and more. I
couldn’t wait to get out of my 20s. Once I was in my 30s, I felt
that I was more mature. And in my 40s, I’ve gained so much wisdom
and self-assurance. I know who I am a whole lot more than I did a
decade ago. And so with 50 approaching, I'm not scared about it.
I’m 100 percent embracing it.
On becoming an empty-nester: It feels so weird at first,
especially if you are a close family and close to your kids, which
we are, and it can feel very sad and lonely. But it also gives you
a time to really reconnect with your spouse, and that's what I
encourage people to do. Don’t be so wrapped up in the kids that you
forget about your marriage or your partner for life.
On watching her own shows: I haven't watched Full House
in a very, very long time. I will say—and I'm a little embarrassed
to admit it—I've done it a couple times with Fuller House episodes.
Like, if it’s a bad day, I might turn on an episode. I’ll watch the
episode with New Kids on the Block. It just makes me smile.
