Baby the Only Good Bit, Says Tina Fey
July 27, 2008 by lkatulka
Being a mom is tough work – just ask Tina Fey! Just like most busy mommies she knows the only reward is her baby, two-year-old Alice Zenobia.
“The diapers are not great, the hours are dreadful … the baby is the only good part,” she joked.
But Tina definitely doesn’t take her ability to be a mom for granted.
“I personally got very lucky. I got a baby under the wire - that’s how I like to say it. I was 35 and I know I’m very, very lucky.”
As she has never struggled with fertility issues, she said it was “hard to imagine” some of the emotions felt by her Baby Mama character, who uses a surrogate to have a child. But she still found some inspiration from her own experiences.
“I was able to remember the feelings of mid-30s baby lust that kind of overtakes you and surprises you, and then the fear that it’s not going to work out,” she says.
